Stourhead

The 18th century Palladian mansion and gardens at Stourhead are well worth a visit for anyone who appreciates beautiful English country parks. Three small temples, a grotto and the statues of eight English kings are situated within the grounds whose views from all locations are breathtaking.

The magnificent interior includes an outstanding Regency library, an extensive picture collection and furniture by Chippendale the Younger.

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.
