Longleat Safari and Adventure Park
Longleat Safari and Adventure Park
Longleat Safari and Adventure Park, in Wiltshire, was opened in 1966 and was the first drive-through safari park outside Africa.
Your drive-through safari adventure will take you unbelievably close to creatures you’ve only dreamed about. So mind the zebras crossing, give the rhinos right of way, watch out for the wolves and beware of the meddling monkeys.
Venture into the Bat Cave, visit the African Village, Gorilla Colony, Stingray Bay, Cheetah Kingdom and even the Postman Pat village,
Learning with Longleat
Whatever the age Longleat has so many educational opportunities. Primary and secondary schools can enjoy bringing the curriculum alive visiting Longleat House or through close encounters with animals. Lasting memories are made that enhance and reinforce classroom learning.
Longleat House
Don't miss the house itself. Longleat House is widely regarded as one of the best examples of high Elizabethan architecture in Britain and one of the most beautiful stately homes open to the public.
Substantially completed by 1580 and now home to the 7th Marquess of Bath, Longleat House is set within 900 acres of stunning ‘Capability’ Brown landscaped parkland… a bit different from the run-down priory, 60 acres of land, a rabbit warren and an orchard which was purchased by John Thynne in 1540 for £53!
