We’ver visited National Trust Stourhead before, but not for a while. First off, a coffee!

Then off for a walk around the lake:

The lake is surrounded by various temples and other buildings:

and watery grottos:

After all that excitement, time for a quick beer at the pub on the estate:

After lunch, we wandered through the gardens to the main house:

As Rocco wasn’t allowed in the house, I went in first, then Rocco and I went for a walk around the estate while Tina viewed the house.

My walk went past an obelisk that I’d seen from the lake:

and the waterwheel and pump house that used to supply water to the estate:

Finally, we drove to the nearby King Alfred’s Tower, set high on the hill behind the estate:

A lovely day, helped by very pleasant weather.
