National Trust Stowe

The scale, grandeur and beauty of Stowe has inspired writers, philosophers, artists, politicians and members of the public from the 18th century to the present day. Since the National Trust acquired the gardens in the late 1980s, an ambitious programme of restoration has ensured that over 40 temples and monuments remain, gracing an inspiring backdrop of lakes and valleys with an endless variety of walks and trails, a delightful visit, any time of year.

These are the most spectacular gardens to visit. Be prepared to walk about 3 miles and use the map provided at the entrance to get the best experience. There is a buggy ride if you need it.After a short walk from the New Inn, you enter the gardens and are treated to a spectacular view across the lake towards the house. As you walk around the estate, you come across quirky structures, statues, glades and more. There’s a surprise around every corner. Stowe is a wonderful example of 18th century opulence- a great example of showing off about wealth , a legacy that we can still enjoy today.

Claydon House

The National Trust and the Claydon Estate work in partnership to run Claydon House, courtyard and gardens. Claydon House, run by the National Trust, displays splendid 18th Century interiors while the gardens, run by the Claydon Estate, include formal gardens, a woodland walk, and a productive kitchen garden. The courtyard, also run by the Claydon Estate, is an arts and artisan hub housing several boutiques including a picture framer, sculptor, painter, potter, florist and National Trust book shop. There is also an on-site holiday cottage, 'Phoenix Tea Rooms' and event room 'The Stables' available for private hire.

Went with friends to Claydon House for a day out and it was an unexpected treat, easy parking {free} lovely setting with great views and nice gardens, the whole place seemed calm and restful. We visited the cafe which is open a little before the House etc; it was clean and tidy and well stocked to cater for all. Close by around the courtyard are several artisan outlets to keep the shoppers happy. The house itself on the inside is a real surprise with helpful guides in different locations to answer any questions, some of wood carvings are outstanding, check the chinese room out. There is some restoration ongoing but it will not spoil your visit. The gardens{extra cost} are pleasant to walk around featuring wild and formal settings plus a lovely small Church which was open the day we visited. Well worth a visit.
