I visited stourhead on the way back to London about five years ago and was blown away by its beauty. I was surprised that I'd never heard of it before, although I had often driven past the old Hoare and Co bank, building on Fleet Street. I would say it's definitely the most beautiful garden I've ever seen.

Thank you from my Hoare family. It is appreciated. My late mother was Elizabeth Abbey Hoare. The Hoare's were the last one to own Stourhead and left if as a National Trust to Great Britain. I appreciate this fact very much.

The most beautiful landscapes garden in all of the UK. Possibly all of Europe. I go at least every couple years

I am hoping you got to come here. It will be memorable, for sure. Maybe you have read all the history? It was all in our family for a few hundred years and it was our family that gave everything to Great Britain. I am thankful to have such a family.

This is all so outstanding and my family and I cannot thank you enough. I want to cry when I view it....out of love for my Hoare ancestors. Rick Warren in his religious writings and talks mentions that it is not a sin to be weatlhy but it is a sin to die wealthy. How true. Our daughters, Roxanne and Michele, and our grandchildren, MIkayla, Sebastian, and Manuelito, have to visit here often and remember that their grandfathers and grandmothers, the greats, etc., gave this all to England.

Thank you... this has to be my most favorite place of all, I will be posting another vid soon which I did in May last year, that too is stunning. It will be good to visit Stourhead in about 2 weeks when Stourhead will be dressed in all her Autumn glory, what an awesome sight!!

One of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen. My wife and son and I live in California and we pray that someday we will be able to come see our Holy God's beautiful creation. We recently watched Pride and Prejudice and started searching out all the beautiful scenes and found your video here. Thank you very much and God's grace to you and your family.

If you come next month you will see Stourhead in Autumn, simply stunning! When I saw it in October of last year it made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck, it was just breathtaking to see. I hope you enjoy your visit.

Sorry Jason but I missed this comment and only saw it today. We do plan to do Chatsworth at some stage but it will probably be next year. Thank you for the very nice comment.

Inside almost ever Palladian structure is reproduction Ancient Greek and Roman marble sculpture as if it could be any more beautiful. The entire journey tells a story of Ancient Rome.
