Stourhead Gardens

Stourhead is a quite stunning English landscape garden by Henry Hoare 11 in the mid 1800s.
Take a walk around this great landscape park which takes your breath away. Children will love the grotto - just wait and see!
Classical temples, Temple of Flora, Temple of Appollo, plus rock bridge, cascade all of which are situated around the lake. The view from the temple of Appollo has been described as one of the most picturesque scenes in the world. Hybrid rhododendrons, scented azaleas, pelargoniums. Lovely Autumn colours.  
This is a great landscape garden worth visiting any time of the year. It is one of our favourite gardens and should not be missed.

We visited Stourhead Garden in October and whilst the colours had not quite turned the scenery was just superb. 
There were excellent visitor facilities  including great food and good shopping.
