Stourhead was different to most NT properties we've visited as the house and gardens veer off in two different directions. There's a small pub across a public road that you cross for access to the grounds and a couple of beautiful little cottages you're able to rent out to stay in (note to self: do this!). From cobbled paths to miniature buildings, to umpteen caves and a gothic cottage (or the witch's cottage as a trio of children we passed informed us), if it weren't for our weary legs (and late entrance) we would've repeated the whole thing all over again before we had to leave.

Recently, we've been stumbling upon snowdrops and the beginnings of daffodils and it desperately feels like Spring is trying to push through. This year, I feel like we've made as much of our membership during the colder months as we possibly could have, but Stourhead is one place I can't wait to visit again once Summer arrives. If the National Trust was a video game, we'd be Level: Expert so to view all of our NT endeavours, just go here.
