Stowe

S1, E2: Created on a vast scale with 36 temples, 8 lakes, and a dozen avenues, Stowe launched the career of Launcelot ‘Capability’ Brown and fostered a rebellion that overthrew the first British Prime Minister, Robert Walpole. Rather than being a garden of flower and shrubs, Stowe is a garden of ideas, and its grottos and classical monuments spell out a furious, coded political manifesto.
