Longleat House is widely regarded as one of the best examples of high Elizabethan architecture in Britain and one of the most beautiful stately homes open to the public.

Substantially completed by 1580 and now home to the 7th Marquess of Bath, Longleat House is set within 900 acres (400 hectares) of magnificent ‘Capability’ Brown landscaped parkland with a further 8000 acres (3,200 hectares) of woodland, lakes and farmland. In the late 13th Century a priory belonging to the Black Canons of the Order of St Augustine occupied the site where Longleat House now stands.

Longleat Safari Park was opened in 1966 and caused a revolution in the world of zoological collections by becoming the first location outside Africa to open a drive-through Safari Park.

Longleat is less than a 25 minute drive ( 16 miles) from Stonehenge Campsite. Learn more about Longleat at: www.longleat.co.uk
