The world-famous Stourhead straddles the Wiltshire-Somerset border, and is only a half hour trip from our campsite. Described as a living work of art, the 18th century landscape garden is a masterpiece. Inspired by classical architecture and Greek mythology, at the centre is a large lake framed by the iconic Palladian bridge and Pantheon. Events are regularly held here, including open-air theatre.
The world-famous landscape garden has at its centrepiece a magnificent lake reflecting classical temples, mystical grottoes, and rare and exotic trees, and offers a day of fresh air and discovery.
