Tips from the Community

Ian
August 8, 2026, Bristol High Cross at Stourhead

Incredibly, this used to sit in Bristol Streets and was moved here in the 1760s.

The gardens of Stourhead are among the most famous 18th-century English landscape gardens and, for me, one of the most beautiful I have seen so far. The centerpiece is a large, artificially created lake, around which winding paths, temples, bridges, grottoes, and rare trees extend. The layout was designed so that new picturesque views open up at every turn of the path.

The Bristol High Cross is a medieval market cross from Bristol. It was removed from the city in 1765 and rebuilt by Henry Hoare II in the gardens of Stourhead, where it still stands today.

This route is no longer strictly accessible. It goes through a private farm with locked gates and the Stour estate which requires a permit (£10 per person)

This road runs alongside Garden Lake providing a beautiful view of the tranquil waters and the stunning Stourhead Gardens. Keep an eye out for the market cross, originally erected in 1373 in the centre of Bristol and relocated to Stourhead in 1764.
