Longleat House

Highlight • Monument

Perhaps one of the most famous stately homes in the UK, Longleat is an impressive Elizabethan prodigy house. Longleat is set amongst 1,000 acres of parkland, home to the first safari park outside Africa.

Construction on the house began in 1568 on the site of a priory which had burnt down. Originally designed for Sir John Thynn, the estate remains in the same family today. The flamboyant artist Alexander Thynn and his son Ceawilin Thynn currently live in the house.

You can visit Longleat from 10am - 5pm daily. It's well worth exploring the safari and other attractions as well. Tickets for adults cost £17.00 online. You can buy them here: longleat.co.uk

A mix of fun trails in and around Shearwater. Most are smooth and family friendly but you can also skirt off the side for some more technical and challenging stuff ;)

Longleat House and Entrance Arch

Welcome to Longleat Wildlife and Safari Park. Eyes peeled to see if you can spot any animals, and if not, you can still get some iconic photos!

This was the first stately home to open to the public and was the first ever safari park outside Africa.

if you have a day pass to Longleat you can get 10% off at the top of the hill, trouble is you have to make it up there first!

Longleat House Drive

Highlight • Historical Site

Fast, straight road leading up to Longleat House. Great cycling through the grounds, its par of the national cycle route so you can always have access on a bike. If you are lucky you can often see some of the animals including giraffes, hippos, and kangaroos.
