Stourhead (Pride and Prejudice location

Today my new friend Carey drove me to Stourhead. Some of these stately homes are only reachable by car, so it was very kind of her to offer to take me. I think she enjoyed the trip out as well.

It was wonderful, the day was perfect for wandering around an old estate which is still lived in by one of the original family members, who apparently just cordoned off the kitchen while guests pile through her very elaborate home. It is just stunning, the effort that went into it's conception is incredible, back in the 1770s. The original family member Mr Hoare, having travelled extensively in Europe came home to England and commissioned it.

The furniture is original as well!! The place has been used in various tv movies, series the most famous being Pride and PrejudiceRead more
