Autumn Colour Day Trip to Stourhead 🍂

The world-famous landscape garden has at its centrepiece a magnificent lake reflecting classical temples, bridge and mystical grottoes. At the height of autumn, the autumn colours are mirrored back in the waters of the lake.

For film lovers, yes this was featured in the 2005 Pride and Prejudice film during the ill-fated first marriage proposal.
