Stourhead

Stourhead Gardens

Stourhead is one of the finest 18^th Century gardens. It is centered with a lake and is surrounded with classical temples, bridges, grottoes, sculptures, monuments and rare types of trees and plants. Our visit to Stourhead gardens was largely in part to the recent Pride and Prejudice film. Stourhead is the location of the proposal scene that happens in the movie. Standing on top of the Temple of Apollo and looking out over the gardens I understood why they chose such a stunning landscape for an important movie scene.
