STOWE CASTLE
Buckinghamshire
The Castle, now operating as a restaurant, was built as part of the folly set for nearby Stowe House (now a school). Stowe's gardens feature work from, amongst others, James Gibbs, William Kent and Capability Brown and there are no less than 37 Grade-I listed follies in its grounds.
The Castle stands over a mile from the house and is outside the grounds which are now owned by the National Trust. As it is a restaurant, the owners are reasonably happy for visitors to look around.
