Brief description

"The scale and beauty of Stowe have attracted visitors for over 300 years. Picture-perfect views, winding paths, lakeside walks and temples create a timeless landscape, reflecting the changing seasons. Full of hidden meaning, the gardens were created as an earthly paradise and still cast their spell today.

Your visit starts at the New Inn outside the gardens. This fusion of modern and restored eighteenth-century buildings was where visitors of the past were welcomed to Stowe.

The sheer size and space is perfect for those who love the outdoors and enjoy walking. A scenic walk from New Inn takes you into the gardens, where another world awaits. Stowe is great to explore all day long when you explore the far reaches of the garden and parkland to make the most of your day.

Come back time and time again to discover new routes in the garden or take a vigorous ramble in the parkland where more monuments wait to be explored and see new views you won't find in the garden."
