Longleat House is the ancestral home of the Marquess of Bath.  The house was built by Sir John Thynne in the second half of the 16th century.  A fine example of Elizabethan architecture in the Italian Renaissance style.  The house stands in 800 acres of beautiful parkland.  It was the first stately home to be opened to the public in 1949.  The estate also hosts the Longleat Safari Park opened in the 1960s.  Read more about Longleat House here.
