William Wordsworth made a famous poem by the title "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" because of a visit to The Ullswater Valley in Cumbria England. This poem is about walking by Ullswater, only to stumble upon a crowd of daffodils that sway and dance in the wind. By the end of the poem, Wordsworth claims that if he lies in a "vacant" or "pensive" mood, he will remember those beautiful daffodils he was inspired by. He loved Ullswater so much that he even bought land there, with the intention of raising a family. With his sister Dorothy and some friends, they would often walk around this valley and as a result, he would describe these walks in a book he made called Guide to the Lake District. In short, William Wordsworth was very inspired by the Ullswater Valley and often enjoyed his walks in nature with his sister and company.
