Longleat

Longleat is an English stately home in Wiltshire. It is set in over 900 acres (3.6 km²) of parkland, landscaped by Capability Brown, with 8,000 acres (32 km²) of woods and farmland. It was the first stately home to open to the public, and also claims the first safari park outside Africa. Built by Sir John Thynne after the original priory was destroyed by fire in 1567, it took 12 years to complete and is widely regarded as one of the finest examples of Elizabethan architecture in Britain. Currently occupied by the 7th Marquess of Bath, a direct descendant. It is one of the Treasure Houses of England.
