Impressive gateway to the Orchardleigh Estate (Golf and Country Club). The gate was closed when I visited (private land) but it is a nice spot to look around. Stopped here briefly on my way out of Frome. Near the picturesque village of Lullington, I cannot confirm if it is called Gloucester House but this is the name of the road it is on.
