Dialling code: 01963 (Wincanton)

Stourton with Gasper is a small rural parish in south‑west Wiltshire, England, lying on the edge of the chalk downs within the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The parish embraces the tiny settlements of Stourton and Gasper and is characterised by rolling farmland, lanes and the kind of prehistoric banks and barrows that dot this part of the countryside.

It is best known for the Stourhead estate - the 18th‑century house and world‑famous landscape garden with its lake, temples and grotto, now looked after by the National Trust - which makes tourism an important part of the local economy alongside traditional farming. Social life is quietly village‑focused, with historic churches and listed buildings reflecting the parish’s long history and its links to landscape design and rural Wiltshire life.
