Built between 1567 and 1580, Longleat House is one of the finest examples of Elizabethan architecture, and one of the first stately homes in Britain to open its doors to the public back in 1949. 2026 marks the 60th anniversary of the opening of the safari park. Longleat would like to see your photos and footage from the last 60 years. If you have any that you would like to share you can send them to communications@longleat.co.uk
