#lksawaydays 2/2020. 12th of January is someone's birthday....Happy 125th Birthday to the National Trust 🎂 to celebrate we decided to visit one of their sites. After living in the South West for the last 18 years we realised we had never visited Stourhead! Perfect! only 22 miles away too. We arrived at a quiet car park at approx 09:30am and duly paid the £4 daily charge. Stourhead House itself was closed for the winter and opens again in March, but the large garden and grounds are open all year round, If you are not a National Trust member then it will cost you £11.60 per adult. Stourhead House was built between 1721-1724 by the renowned Scottish architect Colen Campbell with the gardens following shortly after in 1741, the path you follow around the Garden mimics the journey of the Trojan hero Aeneas and his descent to the underworld. The large garden has many sculptures and buildings of which many stay with the Greek theme from the Grotto to the Temple of Apollo to the Pantheon as well as other 'themed' buildings such as the Gothic Cottage and the Temple of Flora. Along the paths you will see other paths/tracks leading off in other directions if you follow these you will see the Obelisk, St Peters Pump or slightly further afield King Alfreds Towers. After a good couple of hours of stretching the legs you can finish off in the Spread Eagle for a pint!
