Longleat House
The Finest Safari Park / Stately Home
Set in 900 acres of Capability Brown landscaped parkland, Longleat House is widely regarded as one of the best examples of high Elizabethan architecture and one of the most beautiful stately homes publicly open.
The 6th Marquess first perceived that a house of this magnitude and splendour could become a major tourist attraction and, in 1949, Longleat House was the first stately home to open doors to the public on a fully commercial basis.

Wookey Hole Caves
Britain”s most spectacular underground caverns.
In 1914 the archaeologist Herbert Balch, having completed a two year excavation of the caves, published his findings, and the age of real exploration had begun.
