A beautiful park with an obelisk as the centrefold, built in 2012 to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

Gravel road link towards Hethe. Some short sharp ups and downs and a couple of blind bends - watch out for dog walkers!

Surrounding Stowe House, the grand 18th-century home of the powerful Temple-Grenville family, Stowe Landscape Gardens are a Georgian delight. Winding paths take you along lakesides, past architectural treats and to picture-postcard views. Dogs are welcome as long as they are kept on leads and there are even designated water bowls along the trails.
