It has been a whirlwind these past few days - so many sights in such little time! Stourhead on the 27th was beautiful, but today we visited Prior Park, which is (according to the brochure) a fine example of the English 18th century landscape movement. The most beautiful aspect to me was how hidden everything was, and how around every turn there was a different view. As we would walk along the path, we were surrounded by trees and bushes, but every now and again they would part and give a gorgeous view of the grounds. It's hard to believe that it was all man-made, and even harder to imagine what may have been on the land before.
