              I visited Stowe Gardens back in 2007 Howard, a beautiful and fascinating place to visit, thanks for reminding me.
              If I remember correctly, the various follies around the park are all positioned so that from each one, at least one of the other follies is always visible.

              A couple of photos taken at the time:

                Hi Penny, I couldn't remember what it was called, so I looked it up.
                It's called 'The Grotto', the link below tells you all about it.
