Alfred's Tower. Free parking nearby and a great place to start from.
You may know the beauties of Stourhead from walking around the lakes, and admiring the follies, but if you start at Alfred’s Tower there is a wonderful range of walks taking in the grounds and woodland of the Estate. Visiting is free, open to the public and well signposted. It gives us all a great opportunity to enjoy the colours and feel of Autumn at this time of year.
