Montacute House, a stunning Elizabethan Renaissance masterpiece in Somerset, is a sight to behold with its towering glass walls and golden ham stone. In addition to the hosue, you can explore the ground floor, garden, parkland, café, and shop.

Filming Sites: The Oscar-winning 2004 adaptation of Sense and Sensibility starred Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet as sisters Elinor and Marianne. Montacute stood in as the country home of the Palmers, where Marianne got caught in the rain while trying to escape the heartbreak of Willoughby's rejection. You can spot the famous ‘wibbly wobbly’ yew hedges as she walks through the garden, and later on Colonel Brandon (played by Alan Rickman) pokes his head into the Orangery looking for her.
