 Longleat House near Warminster is the home of the Marquess of Bath and his family. Unfortunately I wasn't allowed to take any pictures inside, but it contains a series of magnificent ceilings by John Diblee Crace, several
libraries and a lot of paintings and furniture. Also several Flemish tapestries and finally Lord Bath's murals. The building is set within the background of grounds landscaped |
 by "Capability" Brown. I think it looks particularly nice in the late afternoon soon (pictures right and below).
To fund the maintenance of the house Lord Bath introduced several other tourist attractions including a Safari Park (with Safari Boats) and an Adventure Castle. I didn't visit them, but you'll find some impressions at the bottom of the page (they are right next to the house). |
