Writing Retreats seek to inspire writers in the
beautiful Lake District landscape where the
Romantic poets and many prose writers were
inspired in their turn. The Retreat will be
based at Rydal Hall, set in the splendour of the
Lake District National Park, in the heart of the
fells. Rydal Hall is an historic country mansion
a few yards from Wordsworth’s family home.
Stunning views, & gardens designed by
Thomas Mawson.
