Autumn at Stourhead is always a visual delight. The gardens contain thousands of trees as well as some classical temples, a grotto and a bridge, all situated around a large lake. Total chocolate box.
I am a frequent visitor to Stourhead and I was very fortunate on this occasion as the sun put in an appearance, which made the leaves come alive and also produced some spectacular reflections on the still dark waters of the lake.
Stourhead gardens were laid out between 1741 and 1780 to a classical 18th-century design, they are owned by the National Trust and are open all year round. If you get an opportunity please pay a visit, you won't be disappointed.
