Estates and Gardens
9 miles) I would recommend googling ‘Stourhead Walks’ as there are many long walks through the woods and fields of the Stourhead Estate. Many start at Alfred’s Tower, a famous landmark in this area.
Stourhead gardens are managed by the National Trust and the iconic bridge and temples have featured in many period dramas and films.With hills, water and classical architecture overlaid by a fabulous collection of trees and shrubs, Stourhead was described as ‘a living work of art’ when first opened in the 1740s. Meandering paths offer vistas through trees to classical temples and surprises at every turn. With the cooling presence of the lake, shady pathways under magnificent tree canopies and even a hidden grotto to discover, Stourhead’s garden is the perfect place to while away a summer's day.

(15 miles) A Town, small in size but rich in offerings. It is a centre of New Age culture, rumoured to be the final resting place of King Arthur and most famously, it has given its name to the legendary Glastonbury festival. The ruins of Glastonbury Abbey, destroyed on the orders of Henry 8th and its grounds, are full of interest and peace. Glastonbury is a contradiction of cultures. You are as likely to see faeries or goddesses walking down the street as ordinary people. Food shops are interspersed with crystal shops, rune readers and clairvoyants. It is an extraordinary place.

(18 miles) This is a delightfully charming little town between Frome and Bath. It is lovely to wander around the little independent shops, restaurants and tea/coffee shops. One of the most compelling features about Bradford on Avon is its unique position on the edge of the Cotswolds facing the River Avon, but is also known as a stopping off place on the Kennet and Avon canal. You can watch the canal boats making their way through the lock gates, enjoy a hearty breakfast at ‘Dick and Jane’s’ or can enjoy a walk along the canal. You can also hire a bike or a canoe/kayak. It is a great walk along the canal and if you really want to push on, it will take you all the way into Bath. However, there is a pub and later a tea room on route, which takes the pain out of all that exercise.

Nunney castle : (5 miles) A picturesque moated medieval castle, Nunney Castle dates from the 1370s. Its builder was Sir John de la Mare, a local knight who was beginning to enjoy royal favour. Much modernised in the late 16th century, the castle was besieged and damaged by the Parliamentarians in 1645, during the English Civil War.Though ruined, Nunney's dramatic great tower is very well preserved. Its four round corner towers and connecting walls are tightly encircled by the castle moat. Not far away is the Walled Gardens at Mells.
