Those long lines in the first picture really carry the eye on a journey.
Those lines drew my eye on the day of my visit.
This is a grand old house. My ancestors used to live in Athelhampton, and would have known this house well, no doubt
That is so interesting Lisl do you have a story to tell about the area?
The lawns, pool, trees, bridge, summerhouse, sculptures and plants are gorgeous. The interiors are of their era but the gardens will suit every generation.
I am not sure the interiors are still intact. The property was sold shortly after our visit and the contents put up for auction.
Such a lovely house!
Is that really a summer house in photo 2?
I thought it was an ice house.
It is an arched wall with the dovecote behind.
Lovely photos of a wonderful house and garden. The sundial is very unusual
I loved the sundial and the birds interaction with each other
What a wonderful pace to visit! It’s been some time since I ventured that far south.
We are hopefully venturing south again soon xx
