イーストストゥールの天然記念物・トップ4

スタウアヘッドの庭園は、18世紀の最も有名な英国式庭園の一つであり、私が見た中で最も美しい庭園の一つです。中心には大きな人工湖があり、その周りには曲がりくねった小道、寺院、橋、洞窟、珍しい木々が広がっています。この庭園は、道の曲がり角ごとに新しい絵のように美しい景色が開けるように設計されています。

Fontmell Down is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a nature reserve located in Dorset, England, within the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is known for its beautiful chalk downland, rich biodiversity, and panoramic views. The down is a steep, sinuous flank of a chalk plateau, offering extensive views across the Blackmore Vale, a landscape featured in the novels of Thomas Hardy. The chalk was formed about 100 million years ago from microscopic plants, and the down's steep-sided dry valleys were created by periglacial meltwater erosion during the last Ice Age. Earthworks visible on the down are much more recent, including those from a golf course that was present in the 1930s. In 1645, the downs were the site of an assembly of 3,000 Dorset "Clubmen," who were local residents protesting against the armies of both sides in the English Civil War.

Lovely view of the lake, especially at sunset.

Stourhead opened in the 1740s as a landscape garden and living work of art. At its centre is a lake surrounded by mythical temples, grottos and wonderful specimen trees. It's now managed by the National Trust and paid entry other than the footpaths which run across the estate.

A beautiful National Trust garden with a great circular walk around the lake.

Moderate trail with amazing history worth exploring
