Coleridge Cottage
Coleridge Cottage stands in the village of Nether Stowey, beneath the Quantock Hills in Somerset. Samuel Taylor Coleridge lived here in the late 1790s, and within these modest rooms he wrote some of his finest poetry, including 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner'. The house is dressed to evoke the poet's domestic life, with a cottage garden behind, and the surrounding hills that fed his imagination on the doorstep.
