Stourhead & Pride and Prejudice
The stunning Palladian house offers fans of the Pride and Prejudice film a chance to visit the Temple of Apollo nestled in the grounds. This is where Mister Darcy proposes to Elisabeth! And while not faithful to the book, what does it matter? It’s certainly a beautiful and romantic place that evokes passion within us all – or perhaps it’s just Jane Austen fans. Either way, best to check it out for yourself.
Take a Cooking Class
There is no better way to enjoy time together than making food to share. So why not get into the kitchen together and try a cooking class with your loved one? A fine selection of courses is available throughout Wiltshire, including Waitrose Cookery School in Salisbury, and Vaughan’s Cookery School, created by a Michelin chef. Most classes are beginner-friendly, meaning anyone can participate and enjoy.
