Cranborne Chase and the West Wiltshire Downs Tours and Activities

#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!

The low cost was the main attraction. It is literally a room in someones house but we were made very welcome. Be prepared to take off your shoes on entry. I had been traveling for many hours so my feet were nit quits fresh. The bed is very comfortable. The pool and spa is 1.5 miles away in a leisure centre so we didn’t bother

Lovely apartment, only downfalls was the floor was dirty and hadn’t been cleaned, one of the beds sheets had staines of some sort. Beds were uncomfortable and the parking opposite only allows you to book until 12 midnight, you then have to wake up at 6am to pay again as there’s no option to pay for 24hrs obviously this has nothing to do with the owners but something to be aware when booking.
