Dove cottage and the Wordsworth museum next door give you a wonderful insight into his time there. You can jump on a boat and go for trip around where he would have wondered as a cloud (you see what i did there) and if you go at the right time of year you might even see some of those daffodils he loved so much, best take your quill in case you get inspired!
