The cross crowning this small sacred monument is comparatively small and modest in relation to the entire monument. However, the cross's base, rising in Gothic form, deserves special attention. The very delicate structure, stretching skyward, looks to me a bit like someone had removed a small church steeple from the church and transplanted it onto the lawn here.

This is a lovely cycle path that weaves through towering woodlands shared with Center Parcs. There are plenty of connecting trails here that allow you to explore the woods further.

This is a charming little stone arch located on the road next to Garden and Turner Paddock's lakes in Stourton. Definitely worth a photo stop.

This road runs alongside Garden Lake providing a beautiful view of the tranquil waters and the stunning Stourhead Gardens. Keep an eye out for the market cross, originally erected in 1373 in the centre of Bristol and relocated to Stourhead in 1764.

Amazing place. I was able to check out the shop and cafe, and have a peak at the garden, whetting my appetite to make it a day's destination some time.

Welcome to Longleat Wildlife and Safari Park. Eyes peeled to see if you can spot any animals, and if not, you can still get some iconic photos! This was the first stately home to open to the public and was the first ever safari park outside Africa.

Church open

beautiful medieval church renovated by the Hoares in 1721

Well situated place to stay for a nice weekend away and explore all the history around

Moderate trail going through some amazing places, worth a visit 😀

Bristol High Cross is a market cross which was first erected in 1373 in the centre of Bristol on the site of an earlier cross which commemorated the granting of a charter by Edward III to make Bristol a county, separate from Somerset and Gloucestershire. In 1764 it was moved to Stourhead. Often mistaken as part of the nearby church.

An 18th century neo-palladian mansion.

Decent hill. Lovely tarmac. Stunning view.

Designed by Henry Flitcroft for Henry Hoare II in 1772, King Alfred’s Tower is a 160ft (49m) high folly, standing in the grounds of the National Trust's Stourhead estate. The tower commemorates the accession of George III to the throne in 1760 and the end of the Seven Years War, with its position believed to be where King Alfred the Great rallied his troops in 878.

Longleat House drive is a stately way to arrive at the house and a great road to ride. The house and surrounding safari park are paid entry but there is access via this road and several others through the estate.

Toilet available here without needing to use the pub

Nice run down to the house. Watch out for cross wind on windy days

Route 25 on the National Cycle Network takes you past Stourhead House.

Same as above - there is a cafe, but attempt to use it at your own risk. They allowed us to buy a coffee, but promptly asked to move on immediately after. Coffee is mediocre anyway...

At this point, the cycleway dips into at atmospheric pine forest. There are lots of other trails around here if you fancy exploring the woodland further.
