Travel Tuesday is upon us once more, and this week I wanted to journey back to England and share another beautiful place with you guys:
Stourhead Gardens
Stourhead is a 2,650 acre estate that includes a mansion, the village of Stourton, the gardens, farmland, and woodland. I only had the opportunity to see the gardens, and it was well worth the trip. The gardens were designed by Henry Hoare II and were completed between 1741 and 1780.
{The Temple of Apollo was built in 1765 and was featured in the newest Pride and Prejudice movie. Unfortunately, it was under construction when I was there.}
If you are ever in the Wiltshire area I would recommend taking a stop by the gardens of Stourhead.
Happy Travel Tuesday Y'all!

Wow that is a beautiful place... But then there aren't too many places in the English Countryside that aren't breathtaking!

Tammy- that is so true. It seems like every place in England is absolutely beautiful.
DeleteBeautiful! I love all the beautiful relaxing parks that you can find in the UK...not quite like that here in the states!
ReplyDeleteYeah- there are not a lot of sprawling estates you can just wander around in the states. It's even worse here in Korea- I wish there was a big park next to our apartment.
DeleteWhat a gorgeous place! I love your photos! This could be a good day trip for us!
ReplyDeleteTina- I hope you get to take a trip there soon- it is such a beautiful place. We went around this time of year and the weather was perfect.
DeleteSooo beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Chantal- it really was. These pictures make me miss England so much.
DeleteOh my goodness, your photos are breathtaking! WOW! And I love me some P&P! Sad that the Temple of Apollo was under construction.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I am such a fan of P&P- I wish the temple hadn't been closed, but it was still great to be there. Now every time I watch the movie I saw I've been there!
DeleteThose are gorgeous pictures. I can see why this area would be used in Pride and Prejudice - it's exactly how I would picture the landscapes around a Jane Austen novel.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It really did feel like we were stepping back in time while we were walking around.
