Stoke Park, Private estate in Stoke Poges, England.
Stoke Park is a Georgian mansion set within 300 acres of parkland featuring lakes, gardens, and a championship golf course. The estate includes various leisure facilities such as tennis courts and spaces designed for events.
The Georgian mansion was designed by James Wyatt in 1788 with architectural elements that influenced the United States Capitol building. The landscape was shaped by Lancelot Brown, a pioneering figure in English garden design.
The grounds served as a filming location for several James Bond movies, earning a place in popular culture. Visitors today can walk through the same spaces that appeared in these famous scenes.
Access is through the main entrance, and visitors should allow time to explore the extensive grounds. Most pathways are accessible, though sturdy footwear is advised as the terrain is uneven in places.
Humphry Repton, another major landscape architect, later refined Brown's original design and left his own mark on the grounds. This collaboration across generations makes the gardens a living record of how English garden design evolved.
