April 12th, 2007

William Wordworth’s most famous poem, I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud/Daffodils, has been set to rap to help attract young visitors to the Lake District. The video features MC Nuts, mascot of Ullswater Steamers, and was shot on the banks of Ullswater, in the grounds of the Sharrow Bay Hotel and in Grasmere. Wordsworth wrote the poem at Dove Cottage in 1804 after being inspired by daffodils on the banks of Ullswater.
