Lovely view of the lake, especially at sunset.

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

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.

Church open

Alfred's Tower is a folly in Somerset,England, on the edge of the border with Wiltshire, on the Stourhead estate. The tower stands on Kingsettle Hill and belongs to the National Trust. It is designated as a Grade I listed building. Henry Hoare II planned the tower in the 1760s to commemorate the end of the Seven Years' War against France and the accession of King George III, and it was erected near the site of Egbert's Stone, where it is believed that Alfred the Great, King of Wessex, rallied the Anglo-Saxons in 878 before the Battle of Edington. The tower was damaged by an aeroplane in 1944 and restored in the 1980s.

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.
