The Special Attraction Of A Windermere Boutique Hotel

By Steven Harrison


People who know about English literature will have added reasons to stay at a Windermere boutique hotel. They will know immediately about access to the sights, scents and sounds that inspired some of the most important developments in the literary canon. William Wordsworth helped to start the Romantic Movement from this place.

Hiking in England is always a delight because people care for their gardens and for the right to walk along pathways and trails as people did before the age of the motor car. Although luxury cars and coaches do use the narrow roads it is possible to branch off and follow well sign posted pathways into the the Lake District and enjoy the scenes that Wordsworth depicted in words.

Wordsworth lived in the Lake District at a time when Industrialization was changing the face of the planet. Like an astronaut returning from space he saw a spiritual dimension in the unique quality of natural life on Earth. It is thought that he composed much of his poetry as he walked in the beautiful Lake District and that the rhythm of his steps can be felt in poems like, 'Daffodils'.

Greece and England are now two fairly insignificant places on the Globe but each has made an important contribution the the world order that is developing in the twenty-first century. The idea of democracy comes from Greece and a language that is used almost as much as Mandarin from the island of England.

Though Shakespeare and Wordsworth were Englishmen, English no longer belongs to England. The language is currently being shaped by users from America, India and China. World experts on Wordsworth are as likely to come from Australia as from England because there are only about sixty million native speakers of English in England and five hundred million in other countries.

At a Windermere boutique hotel tourists may enjoy the company of others from various parts of the world who are English experts. They will squeeze into small places like Dove Cottage and imagine the great writer setting out from there to breathe the spirit of the countryside that is sustained in part by his poetry.
