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. A short walk from the car park takes you into the gardens, where another world awaits. Stowe is great to enjoy all day long as you can take time to explore the far reaches of the garden and parkland to make the most of your visit. Regular events take place throughout the year.
