Orchardleigh (also spelled Orchardlea) is a country estate in Somerset, approximately two miles north of Frome, and on the southern edge of the village of Lullington.

The privately-owned estate comprises a Victorian country house, Orchardleigh Lake with its island church, and an 18-hole golf course.

Within the old estate are the Orchardleigh Stones, a probable neolithic burial chamber which was excavated in 1803 and 1804, when human bones and cremation urns were discovered.

Its heyday was the time of Sir Thomas Champneys, 1st Baronet, High Sheriff of Somerset in 1775, but all that remains of that period is the boathouse, rotunda, the Lullington gateway, and the Tudor-style lodges dating from the 1820s.

The new house is described by Pevsner as "picturesque, irregular, and in a mixed Elizabethan style", and is a Grade II* listed building.

When William bought the Orchardleigh estate in 1855 he was an extremely wealthy man and was therefore able to afford the elegant house that still stands.

Herbert died in 1870 from appendicitis and Julia was left a widow with three young children: George, later a senior civil servant, Stella and Gerald, founder of Duckworth Publishing.

Her train was composed of a very beautiful Brussels lace veil lined with chiffon draped from one shoulder which had been worn at her wedding by the bride's great aunt Lady Stratheden.

Within the grounds, which were landscaped – possibly by Humphrey Repton – and are included in the Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England,[20] is the Wood Lodge Summerhouse.

[22] Orchardleigh has been used as a filming location, for the 1974 BBC dramatisation of The Treasure of Abbot Thomas, the 2009 TV series The Queen and the 1987 episode of Miss Marple, 4.50 from Paddington.
