Montacute House is a magnificent Elizabethan Ham-stone house, surrounded by beautiful parkland and built in the late 16th century for Sir Edward Phelips. Collection highlights include the Long Gallery, which stretches 172ft (52m) and houses a range of portraits on permanent loan from the National Portrait Gallery. The formal gardens are perfect for a stroll and include a collection of roses, mixed borders and famous wobbly hedges. Waymarked walks lead around the wider estate, which encompasses St Michael's Hill.
