The grenery here is awesome and if you get good weather you can have a great time. This is a cool place to chill out with family and kids or just to experience a wild life safari from very close quarters. (Africa is the only otherplace where you can have a wildlife safari and drive among the wild animals!

It is noted for its Elizabethan country house, maze, landscaped parkland and safari park. The house is set in over 900 acres (3.6 km²) of parkland, landscaped by Capability Brown, with 8,000 acres (32 km²) of woods and farmland.

It was the first stately home to open to the public, and also claims the first safari park outside Africa.

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 currently occupied by Alexander Thynn, 7th Marquess of Bath, a direct descendant.
A leat is an artificial waterway or channel such as that which supplies a watermill. (- wikipedia.org)
