Reviews of Stowe Landscape Garden

Is this a garden or a landscape ? Definetly the latter ! I felt it was like an overblown Rousham.

One is drawn from one vista to another through this other worldly romantic landscaped space ! Lovely, and yet a tad bizarre or at odds with todays agressive life and restrictive beurocracy.

I love the space, romance, adventure and wonderful charm but at the end of the 'journey' getting back into the car is a rude snap back to reality.

What's the point in arguing over what to call Stowe? Its a beautiful place and the Palladian Bridge is brilliant.

No, 'landscape garden' is the best name for Stowe. It was designed as an 'enclosed place' (ie a garden) but it was inspired by paintings of classical landscapes.

OK, the history is great and the buildings are interesting. But why call it at garden? Surely Stowe should be called a 'landscape park'.
