Longleat House English Stately Home. Seat Of The Marquesses of Bath HD

Longleat is an English stately home and the seat of the Marquesses of Bath. It is adjacent to the village of Horningsham and near the towns of Warminster in Wiltshire and Frome in Somerset. It is noted for its Elizabethan country house, maze, landscaped parkland and safari park. The house is set in over 1,000 acres (400 ha) of parkland landscaped by Capability Brown, with 4,000 acres (1,600 ha) of let farmland and 4,000 acres (1,600 ha) of woodland, which includes a Center Parcs holiday village.[1] It was the first stately home to open to the public, and also claims the first safari park outside Africa.[2][3]
The house was built by Sir John Thynne, and designed mainly by Robert Smythson, after the original priory was destroyed by fire in 1567. It took 12 years to complete and is widely regarded as one of the finest examples of Elizabethan architecture in Britain. Longleat is occupied by Alexander Thynn, 7th Marquess of Bath, a direct descendant of the builder; however, the peer passed the management of the business to his son Viscount Weymouth early in 2010

Please people in Britain appreciate these beautiful houses I can watch all day on all the Manor and Palaces you've got undiscribaly beautiful what skilled men there was in those days.

[@paulwhite6745]

In the twentieth century, hundreds of them were actually bulldozed! Fortunately we still have plenty left, but even some of those are standing disused and in disrepair. We have houses that are the envy of the world, and we let them fall to bits.

Stunningly beautiful. The ceilings are magnificent.

Amazing selection of background music.

[@jeffcampbell1555]

Magnificent! A perfect match of atmosphere and music. A great balance of outside and inside, detail and general view, architecture and gardening. You've captured the mix of Longleat's antiquity and 19th century opulence, intimacy and grandeur. I saved this to enjoy again.

[@MrHappySnap]

I’m very grateful to you for such a comment. Thank you.....I went back to Longleat in 2019 but the current owner no longer allows pictures to be taken within the house...I was hoping to capture more of the indoors...

Very impressed by the ceilings . Exquisite ,the house seems cared for to a very high standard not allways the case in many of these stately homes . Finances and excellant stewardship are required for that.

[@jamesofarcadia]

Longleat is one of several high profile estates, which have been very much 'open for business' for decades. The family is particularly noted for the amount of media they do, far more than other prominent families.

Somewhat disappointed that this did not show a more detailed view of the library ceiling. In each of the square frames of the ceiling are different scenes of the Bible done in Wedgewood relief. I visited Longleat in 1982 and this pictorial unfortunately does not do it justice.

Who washes those windows,? Ps. I didn't see any loos aka bathrooms in the video. Did they have to go out in the fields? Historical question: I loved the small building off the garden, but was the main building so big just to show off or did they have hundreds of relatives living there? Pps. Great video but I would have liked to have seen portraits of the people who actually lived in the House.

Oh, thank HEAVENS! I thought it was a really tacky painting of some ghost reputed to have appeared there. In our region, the fad, for making cemeteries "relevant", is for reenactors to "play" the ghosts of the people in the tombs. It's tacky beyond belief.
