Stourhead - Stourton

The jewel in the
Stourhead crown has to be the world-famous 18th-century landscape
garden. A magnificent lake shimmering with reflections of classical
temples, mystical grottoes and rare and exotic trees. Secrets of the
Hoare family history are revealed at Stourhead House (orginally the
family holiday home!) with the chance to discover the unique Regency
library, collections of Chippendale furniture and inspirational
paintings, all set amid 'picnic perfect' lawns and parkland. The lake
and house are at the heart of a 1,072-hectare (2,650-acre) estate where
chalk downs, ancient woods and farmland are managed for people and
wildlife to enjoy. Note: Read up on the latest news from the garden, in our garden blog. Don't miss
