Exploring Stowe House - Britain's Best Gardens?

Join me as I have a snoop around Stowe country house and gardens in Buckinghamshire. We'll have a look inside the house and also at the magnificent gardens, which I think are amongst the best in Britain.

Everything about this house is incredible! The classical architecture and the gardens are stunning! Thank you for the tour!

[@AdamExploresBritain]

You're very welcome. Thanks for taking the time (over an hour!) to watch it. It's always nice to know that my little videos are appreciated. It's an amazing place! All the best, Adam :)

When this estate was Stowe School, J. F. Roxburgh became the first headmaster. Actor David Niven was in that first year of students, in 1923. Another Old Boy from Roxburgh's previous school, Lancing College, was Evelyn Waugh. Waugh wrote Roxburgh's obituary in 1954. Niven writes fondly of his time at Stowe in his memoir, "The Moon's A Balloon." He credited Roxburgh and Stowe with saving his life.

Thanks for that. Just to let you know, it is still used as Stowe school. Adam :)

*Nice* still in awe that one family called this home.

[@AdamExploresBritain]

It's remarkable, especially in this case, what they were able to build across the estate as a whole. I guess they went a bit too far and ran out of money...

You are a great tour guide. Thanks for all the hard work you do.

[@AdamExploresBritain]

Thanks a load, that's so kind! Thank you for taking the time to watch along. Adam :)

Home of the Temple-Nugent-Brydges-Chandos-Grenville family, Dukes of Buckingham and Chandos. I believe the last & 3rd Duke died in 1889.

[@AdamExploresBritain]

@@l.a.crenshaw5952 I know. It's not perfect in a lot of ways, but there are worse places, and there are some lovely places here if we look properly :)

[@AdamExploresBritain]

@@l.a.crenshaw5952 I've never been there! I will have to go one day :)

I believe the longest private house frontage is of Wentworth Woodhouse in South Yorkshire, now being restored.

[@AdamExploresBritain]

You could well be right. I had read about that, but I'd also read the same about Stowe. I might look into it a bit more and try to find out the official measurements for the two. Thanks for watching my video, Adam :)

👏👏👏👏

Brilliant tour and commentary! I'd recommend visiting Rousham in Oxfordshire, gardens designed by William Kent.

[@AdamExploresBritain]

I believe that rousham is on my list. It looks lovely! Thanks very much for watching and for your nice comments, Adam :)

[@nickmat3153]

I was in London in 2010; I travelled to Bath only; I contemplated which Country Houses to visit, but did not have the time! I do not know when I will be back! Any chance you have Easton Neston, Hardwick Hall or Wentworth Woodhouse? I had a large collection of books on the English Country House which were destroyed by fire, unfortunately!

[@AdamExploresBritain]

Oh, that's terrible. I'd hate to lose my country house books! I havn't been to those 3 houses yet, unfortunately :)

An Entire Artistic. LIterary Movement 'The Romantic Movement' began with STOWE.

[@AdamExploresBritain]

Yes, a fantastic overall piece of work :)
