Stourhead
Stourhead in Wiltshire is one of England's greatest landscape gardens, created in the eighteenth century as a living work of art inspired by classical painting and literature. A winding path leads you around a serene lake, past temples, a grotto, and bridges, through woodland that blazes with colour every autumn. The Palladian house at its centre holds a fine collection of furniture and art, but many visitors barely leave the garden — there is simply too much beauty to take in.
