Longleat House is set in 9,000 acres of rolling countryside, just a few miles from the Wiltshire market town of Warminster.

The estate consists of 4,000 acres of farmland, 4,000 acres of woodland, which includes a Center Parcs holiday park, and a further 1,000 acres of ‘Capability Brown’ landscaped gardens. It is regarded as one of the finest examples of Elizabethan architecture in Britain.
