About this place
Compiled from the listed sources below — not a first-hand account.
Stourhead is a celebrated 18th-century landscape garden, laid out by the Hoare family around a central lake near Stourton in Wiltshire. Among its mature trees is a coast redwood planted in 1845, noted for its impressively flared bole, with giant sequoia also growing in the grounds. Now in the care of the National Trust, the garden charges admission for non-members.
