Stowe- part 2

A lot later than I originally planned, here is the second part of my visit to Stowe. (first part here)

Stowe, grounds, gardens, folly, landscape, Capability Brown, architecture, follies, 18th Century, temple, Palladian, UK, English, photo, pictures, photographs, examples,

I thought he most logical thing to do was to split the photos into two- the first part is mainly trees and autumnal landscape.  This post is about the follies that are scattered around around the grounds. For those of you who don't know, a folly is a fanciful structure, built to be primarily decorative and to be an ornamental part of a large garden or estate. Some follies can however also be practical, a place to rest, take tea or even to sleep if they are far from the main house.
