This is a magnificent
showpiece village of more than 300 cottages
owned by the National Trust.
It lies on the estate surrounding the
Palladian mansion of Stourhead, famous for its
works of art and superb landscaped garden.
The latter was created in a classical style
with grottos, temples, stone bridges and
sublime trees.
One of the follies is King Alfred’s Tower,
which soars 150 feet and affords spectacular
views.
A beautiful garden has also been created at
Stourton Rectory. |
