I visited the National Trust property – Stowe Landscape Garden – in Buckinghamshire on the opening weekend of their new entrance to the property. It’s a fabulous garden full of meandering paths, temples, and monuments – all designed to create stunning views. The walk around the estate is great – about 3 miles and fairly easy going.
They’ve always had a secret grotto that wasn’t accessible as it was being renovated – it’s now open and lit by candle lanterns. This is the view from the grotto down the stream showing how everything is designed to frame a perfect view
