Gnarliness at #Stourhead for #ThickTrunkTuesday
✨ Hidden gem alert: the Temple of Apollo at Stourhead!
Perched above the lake, this 1765 classical folly by architect Henry Flitcroft isn’t for worship — it’s all about the view. Walk, pause, admire — just like 18th‑century visitors did.

There’s something peaceful about a walk around the lakes at Stourhead. Every turn brings a new view. Reflections on the water, ancient trees, and gentle light. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to slow down and take it all in. #whereittakesus #Stourhead #LakesideWalks
A colour photo of a classic Stourhead Garden scene. Viewed from near the lake edge across the arched footbridge and along the lake to The Pantheon, a large folly modelled after The Pantheon in Rome. Surrounded by green grass, trees and shrubs with just the beginnings of orange autumn colour in bushes next to the Pantheon.

Magnificent Stourhead Gardens, designed by owner Henry Hoare II and architect Henry Flitcroft (18th Century). The bridge and Pantheon, with just a touch of mist in the distance.

The same view as above but now, Pickle and Reggie are gazing over the lake at the view, which is now in focus. On the hill an ornate domed temple peeks out from behind the large yellow tree.
Ah trees are nice...
Oh! I see a build-ing that is trying to hide! It looks like it might have something shiny in it.
Need to go back to check!

A portrait close-up of two Sylvanian Families cat babies walking along a mossy branch. Above them, softly blurred in the background, are slender branches and bright red, backlit maple leaves. Leading the branch-walk is Pickle, a grey striped cat baby, with arms and legs swinging and face mostly turned away, looking at the leaves. Following, looking at our of sight leaves more towards the camera, is a tiny cradled black cat baby. It's Reggie!
Oooh!
These leaf's colour matches my scarf and Pickle's shoes. They are glowy when the sun shines through them.
Being under trees is very nice every sea-son.

An extreme close-up of a moss covered oak tree branch with thin branches sprouting from it. Framed by two branches is an acorn. Staring at the acorn from one side, is a tiny cradled Sylvanian Families black cat baby. It's Reggie!
Acorn! I found a acorn!

Shell is shiny when pol-ish'd ^-^

The blurred silhouettes of three sylvanian families babies on a stone slab, looking out on an elegant country estate in autumn. The view is of the lake at Stourhead, a National Trust property, from the temple of Apollo back towards the entrance. The temple of Flora and Palladian bridge can be seen on the distant shore. Many of the tall trees are yellow or showing signs of turning. The three sylvanians are: on the left, Oatmeal, a milk rabbit baby, holding up a tiny camera at the scene; on the right, Pickle, a grey striped cat baby; and in the centre is a tiny cradled black cat baby. It's Reggie!
We got to explore a huuuge park with many big trees turning colour like magic.
And there are tem-pulls full of stat-chus that are like treasures. They are not shiny but are nice ^-^

Pleasant if very busy trip to the National Trust at Stourhead. Very picturesque in autumn! #Autumn #Fall #NationalTrust #Stourhead
Went on a little walk today. No tracking but a LOT of photos, many with the grown up camera too!
But here’s a couple from the phone.

The tree in all of its glory
I feel reflections can be pretty cool when doing some ICM. This reminds me of the eye in Lord of the rings #ICM #Stunday #Reflections #EastCoastKin #Nationaltrust #Stourhead
Went for a lovely stroll around #Stourhead in #Wiltshire yesterday. Particularly lovely at this time of year. #Autumn #October #Photo #ForestFriday @nationaltrust.org.uk
Stourhead is a National trust property in Wiltshire in the UK. The autumn display is superb this time of year

#Stourhead - One of the most gorgeous places to go in the UK to see the colour of Autumn. The #NationalTrust opens it up early for a couple of times a year for photographers to get the morning light. These are my favourites from this morning #EastCoastKin #ICM #Art #Abstracts #Autumn #Photography
A colour photo of the edge of a lake, undulating diagonally through the lower half of the photo, bordered by trees in various stages of autumn colours. A yellow tulip tree is prominent. Partly cloudy sky above.

Stourhead in North Dorset in prime Autumn colours
The National Trust property called 'Stourhead' in North Dorset is absolutely sublime in the Autumn. This pic is from my last visit there in 2020. I think we might have to venture up there again in a month or so's time. #reflections #autumn #photography #autumncolour #stourhead
'It is said, when tired from fighting with the Danes, King Alfred and his soldiers prayed for water, and up came six wells or springs. If the legend is true, if this is not a holy well, surely a heaven-sent one.'

Quartet of black and white images of a Stone Statue of a Greco Roman naked woman with a draped fabric that sits in one of the statue nooks of the Parthenon replica building in the Stately home Stourhead Gardens. The bottom right shows the full statue, the bottom left a close up of the raised left arm clutching the fabric. Top left is a close up of the face and top right is of the right hand and rousched fabric grasped in the hand.

Taken early June 2022 this is the famous view of The Stourhead Stately Home Garden, that takes in the Palladian Bridge, the blue green Lake and Pantheon Temple amidst the beautiful and lush greenery of the landscape. Created by Sir Henry Hoare II one of the Gentleman Gardeners’ and added to by successive generations until the house and gardens were acquired by the National Trust, which allows visitors to walk the gardens and visit the house. Based just outside of Mere, near Warminster, Wiltshire in the South West of England this is a fabulous place to visit year round to explore the seasons. It has an impressive selection of Rhododendron and various species of trees along with some beautiful buildings all inspired by the Hoare family’s grand tours of Europe, Italy in particular.

According to staff, this is a popular place for proposals. Have they even seen the movie!? "I love you most ardently." "You are the last man I could ever be prevailed upon to marry!"
