Stowe Landscape Gardens

17th May 2007

Stowe is a breathtaking beautiful work of art, created by the leading architects, sculptors and gardeners of the 18th century. In 1989 the largest and most celebrated landscape gardens in the world were handed to the National Trust. The gardens were overgrown, lakes silted up, temples and monuments crumbling. Now two-thirds underway, a fifteen year restoration project has seen the gardens slowly return to their former glory.

Stowe House (not NT) is home to Stowe School which is in the grounds.
