This route is no longer strictly accessible. It goes through a private farm with locked gates and the Stour estate which requires a permit (£10 per person)

This road runs alongside Garden Lake providing a beautiful view of the tranquil waters and the stunning Stourhead Gardens. Keep an eye out for the market cross, originally erected in 1373 in the centre of Bristol and relocated to Stourhead in 1764.

If you are heading here by car please note that the car park is not at location marked on the app map I have included screenshots from a map in the photos to show you the exact location of the car park which is a short ride from the park itself. Coming of the A362 roundabout follow sign for centre parcs you will pass centre parcs to your left then a timber yard and to your right a road with open grass areas either side which is the entrance to Longleat house the Bike park carpark is then 2nd turning on the right and is quite a narrow entrance and hidden in the trees so be warned blink and your miss it, the entrance is at about 45 degree angle to the road so if your coming from the other direction it's very easy to miss and the only signs I could spot are to the left of the road opposite the entrance and on the white gate which is closed at night but should be open when you're arrive at the park, On busy days you can spot the cars in the car park from the road.

Found it a challenge coming up on 40mm tyres E-W, but the descent is a treat. If you've got skinnier tyres or there's been a lot of rain the track directly parallel holds up better in rain.
