I was asked in our way home from our day trip which I liked better, Stonehenge or Stourhead. To answer shortly, I said neither. I don’t like one over the other. They’re both special to me in different ways.
When it comes to Stonehenge, I have seen pictures and documentaries on it for my whole life. It comes with so many theories, it’s scary to think about. From ancient civilizations to aliens, who knows what we could have been looking at. The opportunity we had to visit such an unknown site is amazing.
Stourhead, on the other hand, was something I had never heard of unti 2300 with Aimee. Even then, arriving to the site I didn’t remember exactly what it was but I was amazed. I have never seen something so beautiful and cared for. From the secrets on the trail, to the smell of the flowers in bloom, to the warm sunny day we were so lucky to have, I couldn’t have dreamed of something like that. As soon as we returned to the hotel, I looked up the original painting to compare to an image I took and I was pleasantly surprised by how similar they really were.

So, to answer the original question, I loved them both. Our adventure was overall was a day well spent and easily on of my favorites so far.
