Nestling within 900 acres of Capability Brown landscaped grounds, Longleat, built by Sir John Thynne, is one of the best examples of Elizabethan architecture in Britain. On display are priceless collections of furniture and paintings, including works by Tintoretto, Wootton and Italian Old Masters, with magnificent ornate gilded and painted ceilings by John Dibblee Crace and exquisite 17th century Flemish tapestries. The Murals in the private apartments have been painted by the present Marquess of Bath.
