Stowe Gardens are extensive, Grade I gardens and parkland near Buckingham. Largely created in the 18th century, the gardens at Stowe are arguably the most significant example of the English Landscape garden. Designed by Charles Bridgeman, William Kent and Capability Brown,  the gardens have evolved from a baroque park to a natural landscape garden.  The gardens are notable for the scale, design, size and the number of monuments set across the landscape, as well as for the fact they have been a tourist attraction for over 300 years. Many of the monuments in the property have their own additional Grade I listing along with the park. These include: the Corinthian Arch, the Temple of Venus, the Palladian Bridge, the Gothic Temple, the Temple of Ancient Virtue, the Temple of British Worthies, the Temple of Concord and Victory, the Queen's Temple, Doric Arch, the Oxford Bridge, amongst others.
