Although not on the estate itself, the dovecote at Bruton is managed by the Stourhead estate wardens.
This curious stone building and local landmark dates from the 16th century and may also have been used as a watch tower.
The dovecote overlooks the rural town of Bruton, reputed to be the smallest town in England, and is regularly visited by ramblers on the Leland walking trail.
