Stowe House is a Grade I listed country
house located in Stowe, Buckinghamshire, England. It is the home of
Stowe School, an independent school and is owned by the Stowe House
Preservation Trust who have spent more than £25m on the restoration
of the house. The gardens (known as Stowe Landscape Gardens), a
significant example of the English garden style, along with part of
the Park, passed into the ownership of The National Trust in 1989 and
are open to the public. The house is open to the public on 280 days a
year with tours during the school holidays, and during term time. The
parkland surrounding the gardens is open 365 days a year.
Enjoy those pictures. I only hope you'll feel like going there for your next holiday!

THE GOTHIC TEMPLE, STOWE PARK

Stowe House is a Grade I listed country house located in Stowe in Buckinghamshire.
It is a fantastic Landmark. A James Bond film ('The World is Not Enough') starts with this Temple as its back drop for a funeral scene. (cleverly shot to double as a Scottish castle).
It has an amazing domed ceiling inside with a gallery.
There are wonderful views across Stowe Park with its landscape of buildings, statues and bridges.
