Grecian Valley

This setting for the Temple of Concord & Victory was the last section of garden to be completed. Under the direction of Capability Brown & Lord Cobham, 500 men created the valley using only hand tools

Grecian Valley was a key feature of the landscaped gardens at Stowe, designed under the direction of Lancelot "Capability" Brown and patronized by Lord Cobham. It is historically significant as one of the last major garden sections completed, reflecting 18th-century landscape design ideals and the collaborative effort of over 500 workers using hand tools.
