Dora's Field

One famous beauty spot linked with Wordsworth is Dora's Field, below Rydal Mount next to the church of St. Mary's (where you can still see the poet's pew). In spring, the field is awash in yellow daffodils, first planted by William Wordsworth and his wife, Mary, in memory of their beloved daughter Dora, who died in 1847.
