Stourhead House and Garden

Type: Garden

Stourhead estate on the Wiltshire-Somerset border is the perfect day out for everyone. A breathtaking 18th century landscape garden with lakeside walks, grottoes and classical temples is only the beginning. Between March and October you can visit Stourhead House, a Palladian mansion with a fantastic regency library and beautiful art collection. And why not climb the 205 steps to the top of King Alfred's Tower, an amazing red-brick folly, for vistas over Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire, or explore one of our Iron Age hill forts. We also have a large National Trust shop, restaurant, art gallery, pub, ice cream parlour and farm shop for you to enjoy. Please call for a full events programme, information about group visits and access for visitors with disabilities.
