Stourhead 'perfect Valentine's Day visit on a canal boat holiday in Wiltshire'

Stourhead could be the perfect romantic destination for those on canal boat holidays in Wiltshire, according to a new rundown of the best locations for Valentine's Day.

Coming number one in the National Trust's list, these gardens date from the 18th century and are located near the city of Bath.

Those on canal boat holidays in Wiltshire will be able to enjoy the site's lakes, passing temples and follies, as well as a selection of grottos that are dotted throughout the ground.

'[It is] the perfect place to forget the hustle and bustle of 21st century life and enjoy a day together exploring the timeless wonder of this fairytale estate,' the National Trust asserts.

It also highlights Stourhead's Temple of Apollo, which was used in the Keira Knightley adaptation of Pride and Prejudice as the scene of Mr Darcy's declaration of love for Elizabeth.

Those on canal boat holidays in Wiltshire later in the year can visit Stourhead House, which opens from March 13th, where they can explore the Palladian mansion house and its collection of paintings.ADNFCR-2853-ID-19598824-ADNFCR
