Stowe Landscape Gardens Houses

Stowe Landscape Gardens are a remarkable reminder of an age of opulent living and political idealism, expressed through the beauty of nature and architecture. They are also a living and uplifting space for everyone to enjoy.

Stowe was owned by one of the most powerful families in 18th century England, and was effectively the seat of power in the country for several decades. As well as building a great ducal palace, much of the family's creative energy and wealth went into creating a garden which was to influence garden design all over Europe. Many great names in architecture and garden design contributed to this magnificent work of art. The scale is majestic and impressive - there are eight miles of exceptional walks and views to be enjoyed. Beautifully restored, the gardens are there to give inspiration and pleasure to everyone.
