Stourhead, Wiltshire

Designed by Henry Hoare in the 1740s, the mesmerising landscape of Stourhead is centred around its magnificent manmade lake, which is framed on all sides by classically inspired temples, palladian bridges and magical grottoes. On a frosty or snowy winter’s morning, caught in its true winter glory, the panorama resembles a scene out of Narnia, with grand old trees and dusted evergreens seemingly suspended in time. Open daily, 9.30am-3.30pm. Tel: 01747 841152; nationaltrust.org.uk
