A short Spring Break to explore Stourhead Gardens and beyond
Hi
Thanks for checking out my site. This page is meant to be a taster showing our magnificent surroundings and the beautiful walks which can be enjoyed at Stourhead in Wiltshire.
The weather was good for a couple of days but it rained solidly throughout daylight on another day. Fortunately there are good paths within the main grounds and enought to see and entertain.
Stourhead and this National Trust setting are well worth a visit.

Our cottage was the end of this small group of three.
This was our rainy day showing the much photographed island, usually taken in the autumn but this was spring in the rain.
The Palladian Bridge and lakeside banks covered in daffodils.
No - not Wellington Monument - but the Estate's own Obelisk topped with its famous golden star
Excellent walking on good tracks
This is a Folly built in 1772 and is looked after by the National Trust.
It is known as King Alfred's Tower
This rural setting shows two hikers enjoying lunch at St Peters Pump which is the Source of the River Stour.
This river flows all the way to the sea at Christchurch.
Thats It - Thanks for looking. Ken
