Please note that for the next week or so I intend to build this gallery at the expense of doing too much commenting ~ which means that I simply won't be able to return every comment, much as I would like to do. I'm doing this simply to make this gallery available as quickly as possible, to as many as possible, in order to demonstrate just how stunning a place Stourhead is ~ especially in late October / early November.

I hope you enjoy this glimpse of one of the National Trust's greatest jewels!
