Visit Longleat House, Safari Park, extensive grounds, mazes,
coarse fishing and many special events throughout the year
including ballooning events. Longleat is the seat of the 7th
Marquess of Bath. The Thynne family have owned the Estate
since 1540.
In 1948 the late Lord Bath opened his house to the public
to meet the ever increasing cost of maintaining and preserving
the ancestral home and estate. Visitors should allow a full
day to visit Longleats many attractions.
Longleat is set in more than 900 acres of landscape with
a further 8,000 acres of woodlands, lakes and farmland. Longleat
is one of Britain’s most popular tourist attractions.
Longleat House is much more then a stately home. It offers
a great day out for the whole family. The house is completely
decorated with old style furniture and is very beautiful to
visit. In each room a voluntary guide can tell you about the
history of the house.
