In the charity's own words
Alfoxton Park is a Grade II listed building of national importance to the arts as the home of William Wordsworth when he and Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote the landmark 'Lyrical Ballads'. We are undertaking a major program of heritage restoration and environmentally-exemplary renovation works with a view to opening it as a heritage attraction, literary events venue and residential retreat centre.
