Tour Overview
Depart the bustle of everyday life for an adventure to one of the greatest gardens in the world at Stourhead.
Enjoy the awe-inspiring beauty of the natural world combined with the temples, follies and grottoes of the Hoare family that make the Stourhead gardens so utterly magical and unique. Wander languidly through the family's grand Georgian house admiring the period furnishings, décor and opulence before heading off to a historic, mediaeval town for lunch.
Spend the afternoon admiring the gardens, art and sculptures at an internationally admired art gallery located in the historic buildings of a mediaeval farm. Then, begin the journey back towards home, with one final stop at another hidden gem, before arriving back in Bath, having enjoyed a truly extraordinary day, and with memories that will last forever!
