Longleat's gardens and parkland have a long and rich history. Sir John Thynne purchased the former priory of Longleat in 1541, and since then the land has been adapted for a range of changing uses and tastes. When Longleat first opened its doors on 1 April 1949, the 6th Marquess directed traffic with family members selling entry tickets and guide books. From 138,000 visitors during that first season, we now welcome almost a million visitors a year.
Our guides will take you back in time to bring the history to life from the magnificent state rooms and Elizabethan Great Hall, you can even see how the breakfast table looked back in 1949, complete with cereal box!
As well as discovering the treasures within the House itself, you can also explore:
• Formal gardens, Boathouse and Game Larder, designed by architect Sir Jeffry Wyatville in the 19th century and commissioned by the 2nd Marquess of Bath. Here you will find a scale model of Longleat House. The extensive grounds were created by the famous 'Capability' Brown.
• Stable Yard, where you'll find the Family Bygones exhibition, offering a fascinating glimpse of the family and staff at Longleat between around 1850 and 1930.
