Our second visit today was to Montacute House, just west of Yeovil.

We found a lovely, quiet, picnic area to eat our lunch:

The house is much more imposing than Lyte’s Cary:

We then went on an estate walk, this time climbing up a fairly steep path through woodland:

There was a break in the trees, with a convenient bench to admire the view back to the village:

The route then returned via a field of sheep (who were untroubled by Rocco):

A lovely day, and back “home” before the rain started.
