If you're at the track this weekend, we recommend heading into the @SilverstoneIM to discover the history of the track layout and how Stowe once dominated the local landscape, giving its name to the corner nearest to the estate. #f1 #crofty #britishgp #silverstone #formula1

One our job perks is supporting talented local craftspeople and helping traditional skills thrive. This is Alex's workshop which he shares with a barn owl. He's making gate hurdles for @stowe_nt from trees sustainably harvested nearby in Silverstone. 📷 @alexmoir6499

If you’re as busy as a bee, take time to slow down, relax and soak up the blossom around you. #BlossomWatch Video: @NTStowe

#CapabilityBrown was head gardener @NTStowe for a decade between 1741-51. He married Bridget Wayett there & their first three children were born at Stowe. The contacts Brown made whilst working for Lord Cobham, one of the leading political figures of the time, launched his career
