Path of Politics: Stowe Landscape Gardens

Anna Howgego, one of the gardeners at the National Trust's Stowe Landscape Gardens, discusses their new Great British Walk, revealing rarely seen secrets of the Stowe Estate. The Trust runs the gardens, the house is occupied by Stowe School and looked after by the Stowe House Preservation Trust and the Landmark Trust rents the Gothic Temple as a holiday let. Confused? Wait until you get to Whig politics and the marvellously complex symbolism of the garden.
