Stowe Gardens

  Stowe Gardens - The house is a private School - this English Heritage Site is special. It is one of the Old Pre-Victorian Gardens

 Home of the Duke of Buckingham

 

It was Winter and the rain was falling but that just meant we had to keep moving.

The Covered Bridge was the first stop to get  out of the rain

The summer house has been converted to a Flat.
So we couldn't go in.

 
 The Pagan Statues for the days of the week were interesting.
 Then Onto the temple.

The Venus temple with a view..

Another shelter from the rain.

 With sheep of an unknown breed.

 We found the Heros wall.

 Jennifer staudy the names and moved on quick, it had started to rain again.

 Quickly across the bridge to the Temple of the Gods.

 Where we sheltered for the storm.

 With the gods of course.

 Before setting off to the house.

 We went into the visitor center but the house only open a few times a year.

 It was quick run ( fast walk) to get back to the car.

 A place to come back to in the spring.

 for the views of a Grand Old Garden.
