Autumn Colour at Stourhead
The world-famous landscape at Stourhead is once again coming alive with the signs of autumn’s arrival, with vistas of burnished leaves and rusty colour palettes. With a lake at its centre, the garden is planned with temples and follies and a planting scheme which allows the colours to wash through the landscape over the autumn season. The best way to see autumn at Stourhead is to visit a few times, as the season progresses. It’s a gradual change with different species of tree changing throughout autumn, and so there isn’t one specific moment which is the perfect time to visit!
