A truly golden day in Ambleside celebrating the launch of this new literary walk, which begins at Glenridding & concludes at our Ambleside campus. William Wordsworth was a regular visitor to Scale How (formerly Green Bank) as the daughter of his cousin lived here from 1827 📚🍃

Wonderful day celebrating the launch of ‘The Wordsworth Way’ here at our Ambleside campus on the poet’s 255th birthday. The official guidebook was written by our own very talented MA graduate, Jade Cookson, who has published this, her first guidebook, within a year of graduation

At last, a first celandine! Wordsworth’s description of this flower, ‘Telling tales about the sun,/When we’ve little warmth, or none’, seems perfect for this grey day 🌼 en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/Poe… #LiteraryLandscapes #MALiterature
