Stowe Gardens, formerly Stowe Landscape Gardens, are extensive, Grade I listed gardens and parkland. Largely created in the 18th century, the gardens at Stowe are arguably the most significant example of the English landscape garden. It is designed by Charles Bridgeman, William Kent, and Capability Brown.
Grand avenues, secluded woods and monuments dot the Stowe Gardens parkland with areas created by 'Capability' Brown. 750 acres of wonderful walks, bridleways and wildlife watching. You'll also glimpse a few historic highlights in the landscape. We will be exploring Stowe Castle, Bourbon Tower,Conduit House,Wolfe's Obelisk,The lost village of Lamport,Boycott Pavilions and Oxford Bridge.

A feedback screenshot with 17 , 5 stars and 100% would attend again for one of our previous events is attached as an image to this event. These walks are very different from other normal walks. There are improv games , funny introductions (don't come if you can't laugh :-) ) etc . Also there is always a pub lunch with us . Walks are more `explore` themed. Normally limited to around 20 people so that you can talk to everyone . You will definitely leave this walks by making new friends.NOTE: Stowe gardens (national trust) needs national trust membership or a hefty payment to visit .
