Visiting Stowe House

Come and explore Stunning Stowe

Stowe is set in the beautiful countryside of North Buckinghamshire, 3 miles outside the old county town of Buckingham. Click here for map and transport information.

The restoration work of Stowe House, which began in 2000, has not only returned certain areas of the House back to its former glory, but has also increased disabled access and thus improved the Visitor Experience. This work does, however, impede on our usual tour route.

While the House is open in term time for the 2pm tours only, access to the State Rooms can be restricted when the House is open during the school holidays.
Visitors to the House are able to see 8 State Rooms on the Piano Nobile, taking the route that would have been used by visitors to the House in the 18th century. In addition to our 2pm tour, visitors are now able to learn more about the origins of the House, the people who owned it and the recent restoration in our new Interpretation Centre. This is a mixture of inter-active, audio-visual and pictorial information designed to enhance your enjoyment and understanding of Stowe House. A small range of Stowe House products is available for sale at the House during opening hours.

Please note that since all the furniture and House contents were sold off in the sale of 1922, there is very little that is original to the House. The House is known for its spectacular Neo-Classical interiors and the magnificent views from and towards the House.
