This is the spot where Wordsworth's sister Dorothy was stopped in her tracks by what she believed were the most beautiful daffodils she had ever seen; her astonishment inspired Wordsworth to write about this host of golden Daffodils in one of the best-loved poems of the English language, I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud (1804).
Wordsworth's description of daffodils in his poem was inspired by this spot.
