Visit the world-famous gardens at Stourhead and sit amongst tranquil scenes. Described as ‘a living work of art’, the gardens lead visitors on a breath-taking journey. Spend a while in the 18th Century Palladian villa and Hoare family home, before wending your way around the grounds, falling in love with the beautifully thought out landscapes and classical architecture.

Beautiful landscapes to explore
A short drive away and you're in the impressive landscape of Stourhead, with its magnificent trees, lake and iconic garden structures. We visited early November when the autumn colours were blazing. A perfect morning out, whether for a lazy amble round the lake or exploring the footpaths to viewpoints and monuments. Good National Trust cafe and shop too.

A highlight of our 5 night stay
We stayed in nearby Nunney for 5 nights. Stourhead was definitely our top pick. On a sunny day it was absolutely beautiful. The scenery is stunning and it was nice to have a well-earned ice-cream in the pretty courtyard of the pub after a good walk. There are plenty of spots for taking beautiful pictures. We'd be interested to return one Autumn or see it covered in snow too.

Magical!
This is the most beautiful place you can imagine - the walk around the lake, dropping into the various buildings and grottoes, is breathtaking. All I can say is you really must visit.

Bishop Palace Gardens and Wells
These are just the most beautiful gardens to wander around, even if you are not an avid garden enthusiast! The bubbling springs feeding the wells and river, the tranquility, the ramparts and the setting adjacent to the Bishops Palace, plus the imaginative planting make it a great place to visit any time of the year - November for us. Right in the centre of Wells too, so lots to explore.

A great place to visit
A beautiful garden to walk around with great views of the cathedral.
Wells is a lovely small city to spend the day in.
Make sure you go to the cathedral and Vicars Close as well.
This beautiful gardens is located in a valley with views overlooking Bath and the surrounding area. Visit the Palladian bridge and spend the day enjoying the peace and quiet. There's a Tea Shed for when you fancy refreshments. For information this is a National Trust site, there is no parking apart from disabled spaces and parking nearby is a bit hit and miss. It is quite hilly and dogs are welcome on a lead.
If you hire a bike from here, a ride along the canal towpath is a must. Hiring a bike is a brilliant way to explore this stunning location and you'll get to experience one of the longest cycling tunnels in the UK.
At eleven acres this is a pretty small park however it more than makes up for this with it's stunning views across the city, hills and woodland. There's a fairly hilly walk if you go on foot from the centre however there is free parking in designated areas and good disabled access. A kids play area, bowling green and outdoor table tennis are available.
