When we lived in Frome we used to often go across the border to Wiltshire and go to Stourhead. Mostly to walk the gardens rather than visit the house. It has temples, follies, and grottoes around a lake. A scene from Barry Lyndon which we liked at that time was filmed there. We went to the first fête champêtre there in the 80s. An orchestra and drinking on a theme at night with fireworks but it wasn't really our thing. A bit posh. I asked Susan about it and she said 'hooray Henrys drinking champagne'.
