Stourhead was created with a 'painterly eye' and this means we have many locations for beautiful photography. The views across the lake as well as the Temple of Apollo are truly stunning for group images or why not head onto the bridge at golden hour for some couple shots.

What is your venue's most unique feature?

The property has been featured in several films over many years, but possibly the most famous is the scene where Elizabeth Bennett refuses Mr Darcy in the 2006 adaptation of Jane Austens, Pride and Prejudice.
