But it's not just the decor that's impressive - the cottage also boasts an extensive collection of John Clare's writings, including manuscripts, letters, and first editions of his poems.

One of the highlights of the museum is the opportunity to see John Clare's actual writing desk, where he penned many of his most famous works. It's enough to make any literary enthusiast feel star-struck. Visitors can also enjoy the cottage's charming gardens, which are full of colorful flowers and buzzing bees.
