William Wordsworth wrote his radical Guide to the Lakes at Allan Bank. A new permanent exhibition 'Wordsworth's Path to Influence' which opens on 1 April 2025, looks at how he helped shape the Lake District we know today. It features 19th century photography of some of the most famous landscapes he helped protect, including Ullswater, Grasmere and Derwentwater, displayed on large scale lightboxes. A First Edition of the Guide will be on display, along with subsequent Lake District guides.
