Stourhead Gardens

The following are a few of the pictures taken at Stourhead | The National Trust in Wiltshire on a visit in 2003.
Although there is a fine house at Stourhead,it is overshadowed by its beautiful garden. Set in a steep-sided combe which falls away to the west,
Stourhead is pre-eminent among English landscape gardens. Horace Walpole described it in 1762 as, 'one of the most picturesque scenes in the world'.
