I always make time to pop in on my walks in this area as it is wonderfully calming and peaceful. I like to just sit and marvel at the talent of the architecture.

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.

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.

For many, known as the ‘Cathedral of Dorset’ Founded by St. Aldhelm in AD 705, Sherborne Abbey has developed from a Saxon cathedral to one of England’s most beautiful parish churches. The abbey is a Grade I listed building. It has several distinct architectural styles throughout and well worth a visit.

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.

Sherborne Abbey, is a Church of England church in Sherborne, Dorset. It has been a Saxon cathedral (705–1075), a Benedictine abbey church (998–1539), and since 1539, a parish church.

King Alfred's Tower is managed by the National Trust and is part of the nearby Stourhead estate. The tower is a 49m high folly designed in 1772. It's believed to mark the site where King Alfred rallied his troops in 878.

Just over half way up the gradient eases for a short distance. In the days of old, horses pulling a cart would be sent into a gallop to gain momentum for the steep section ahead. You are unlikely to see that nowadays but it is still known as "galloping plain" locally.

Closed for eating in during Covid, but open for takeaways. Good sélénographie drinks, breads, cakes and pizza.

old hunting ground...no matter how fit I was, it was always testing at the top when hitting 25%; last two ramps mean grinding it out no matter how many gears but a long recovery stretch when you hit the top to regain energy!

This extraordinary church displays numerous styles of architecture, thanks to its exceptionally long history. Founded in 705 AD, the building has Saxon and Norman heritage but much of what you see today is the result of an extensive rebuild during the 15th century. Today the 'abbey' is a church, but it was once a cathedral and then an abbey.

very nice place to make a pit stop.. :)

Check out the Spread Eagle Pub in the court yard

Abbey founded in 705AD and famed for its Elizabethan tombs and its unique, ornate vaulted ceiling

Decent pitch but as hard or easy as you make it.

Coffee, cakes and pizzas. why not stop to refresh.

What a gorgeous area. A lovely descent down through stourton, the National Trust house, pub and houses and gardens. Under a grotto style bridge and views ahoy!

Built in from 1721 - 24, Stourhead is a wonderful estate at the source of the River Stour. The Stourton family owned the estate for 500 years until they sold it to the Hoare family, who demolished and built a new house. Today you can visit the wonderful lake and house, which is part-owned by the National Trust. The gardens are particularly stunning in autumn, when the trees hugging the river turn crimson and gold. The gardens are open from 9am - 5pm daily and tickets cost £18.40. Check the National Trust website for more info on when the house is open: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/stourhead

Bit of a killer this one that never quite settles at a steady gradient for more than a few dozen meters making it hard to find a pace, and gets worse and steeper the further you get. But isn't that the kind of stuff that make us love cycling? Well recommended!
