Stourhead is full of surprises. As well as the outstanding 18th century landscape gardens with their temples and grotto, there is also a Palladian Mansion with large painting collection.
Venue Type:
Historic house or home, Garden, parklands or rural site
Additional info
A 6 seater, volunteer-driven garden buggy (subject to avilability) to go round the beautiful lakeside path.
Parking for disabled badge holders in lower car park by garden entrance.
Wheelchair accessible toilets at the house, main visitor reception and Spread Eagle courtyard.
Classical temples, including the Pantheon and Temple of Apollo, are set around the central lake at the end of a series of vistas, which change as the visitor moves around the paths and through the magnificent mature woodland with its extensive collection of exotic trees. The house, begun in 1721 by Colen Campbell, contains furniture by the younger Chippendale and fine paintings. King Alfred’s Tower, an intriguing red-brick folly built in 1772 by Henry Flitcroft, is almost 50m high and gives breathtaking views over the estate. Much of the estate woodland and downland is managed for nature conservation and there are two interesting Iron Age hill-forts, Whitesheet Hill and Park Hill Camp. There are also waymarked walks and an exhibition about the estate in the reception building.
