Eight in a series of nine caches set within the magnificent Stourhead Estate, taking in Stourhead House a Palladian mansion and Park Hill Camp, an Iron Age hillfort.
The circular walk of around 7km, will guide you away from the busy house and gardens, and into open parkland, woodland glades and peaceful lakeside settings, taking in many of the features not widely viewed by those visiting this rich and varied corner of Wiltshire’s historic landscape today. You should allow at least 2.5 hours to complete all 9 caches.
The area has been managed by the National Trust since 1946, although all of this series of caches are outside of the gardens and house itself, and hence there is no need to purchase any entry tickets to complete the series. We are grateful to the Estate Warden at the NT for allowing us to place this cache.
A tantalising and possibly tempting view into the gardens from the southern edge of the main lake. From here you’ll be able to see the Iron Bridge and possibly catch a glimpse of some of the other features the gardens are more famous for. The water lilies when in full bloom here are worth the visit on their own. If tempted its not far to go to get into the gardens from here and it’s worth the fee!
Note: this cache is very close to the water's edge so keep an eye on young children (or drunks!).
