The story of Stourhead (Wiltshire) is a fascinating one, as much about
the people who created it, as the garden itself. It is a timeless
paradise, a landscape garden as breathtaking today as when it was
created in the eighteenth century. No other garden from that period
feels as complete, so perfectly balanced in its ideas, design and
execution, and in the intensity of feeling it induces. Stephen Anderton
tells the fascinating story of how this tribute to the classical world
complete with lake, temples, grotto, bridges and monuments of all kinds
came to be created by generations of the Hoare family in Wiltshire.
He takes us inside Stourhead s beautiful Palladian mansion, and
together with the head gardener Alan Power, explores the garden through
the seasons, with its world-famous views and magnificent trees. This
book is an informative companion to one of Britain s greatest gardens.
