Venue 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. 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 venture out to the far reaches of the garden and parkland. 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.
