South West England

Romantic Places to visit

Montacute House, Montacute, Somerset

One of the finest Elizabethan houses in the country.

Treasures include magnificent state rooms, a long gallery featuring portraits from the National Portrait Gallery, and an exhibition of 17th century samplers.

In the garden a rich tapestry of green highlights the mellow hamstone of the buildings. There are smooth lawns, yew hedges, mixed borders and old roses all set within the landscaped park. Montacute featured in the award winning film ‘Sense and Sensibility’. For details of events please contact 01985 843601.
