Stourton - Stourhead 
|
|
At Stourhead (26mi/42km west of Salisbury) one can admire one of the finest English landscaped gardens of the 18th C, which, except for the rhododendrons and magnolias planted in the 19th C, has remained unchanged since the time of its inception. The unique design of the garden includes an artificial lake with caves and landing stages. Surrounding the lake there are hills planted with trees, on which are to be found small classical temples and even the 14th C Gothic market cross which once stood in Bristol.
