FAQs

Dogs are very welcome in our gardens so long as they are kept on lead – there is a cat who lives in our gardens called Dora – she does not suffer loose dogs! We cannot permit dogs inside the main house but we do make exceptions for support animals. Please email info@rydalmount.co.uk to make arrangements for this, or for any further questions.

We have several spaces in our attached car park and parking is free if you are visiting the house, gardens or tearoom. Should you require a ticket to go hiking or to visit the nearby lakes and caves, you can purchase one to display on your dashboard in tearoom.

Rydal Mount continues to be the historic home of the Wordsworth family and is owned in joint partnership by the direct descendants of the poet.

Certainly – we sell garden tickets from the tearoom, and have maps available for the five acres.
