Stowe Landscape Garden

One of the finest Georgian landscape gardens, made up of valleys and vistas, narrow lakes and rivers with more than 30 temples and monuments designed by many of the leading architects of the 18th century.

At the centre is Stowe House, occupied by Stowe School, and all around is Stowe Park. The creation of the Temple family, Stowe has been described as 'a work to wonder at' in its size, splendour and variety. Many of the garden buildings have now been restored, and thousands of new trees and shrubs have been planted in recent years. Work continues on this as well as on the house itself.
