Wander through green
valleys and vistas
The scale, grandeur
and beauty of Stowe has inspired writers, philosophers, artists, politicians and members of the public from the
18th century to the present day.
One of the most remarkable creations of Georgian England, Stowe was created by a family
once so powerful they were richer than the king.
Since the National Trust acquired the gardens in the late 1980s, an ambitious programme of
restoration has ensured that over 40 temples and monuments remain, gracing an inspiring backdrop of lakes and
valleys with an endless variety of walks and trails, a delight to explore at any time of year.
