Rydal Mount was the home of poet William Wordsworth from 1813 until his death in 1850, and of his wife Mary until her death in 1859. The house dates to the 16th century, and the interior features many of Wordsworth's personal effects, furniture, and mementoes. The house was purchased by Wordsworth's descendants in 1969 and is occasionally still used by the family.

The Countess Pillar was erected by Lady Anne Clifford to mark the spot where, in 1616, she said goodbye to her mother, Margaret, for the last time. The story deserves a bit more explanation than those bald facts. It seems that when Lady Anne's father, the 3rd Earl of Cumberland, died, all his estates went to his brother, Lady Anne's uncle. Lady Anne believed that she had the right to the estates, and launched a long legal process to retrieve them.
