The estate of the Elizabethan stately home of Longleat was the venue for the first drive-through safari park outside of Africa when it opened to the public in 1966. Animal exhibits and other unique attractions such as King Arthur's Mirror Maze and Postman Pat Village have been added over the intervening decades and Longleat is now one of England's finest tourism destinations.
The different house and gardens, and safari park sections of this Wiltshire stately home and 100,000-acre grounds garner separate admission fees. There are also two-day tickets, and annual passes which allow visitors to buy what suits their specific needs. Longleat discount vouchers reduce the prices of each and every ticket.
Longleat Safari Park is home to more than 500 animals which roam freely, with the human visitors taking the role of zoo inmates in cars or park safari buses. Lions, tigers, rhinos, warthog and wildebeest are among species on view. Anne the elephant wanders around her personal paddock.
Those who have used discount codes to buy Longleat passes can also explore Half Mile Lake and its famed Gorilla Island, and the Bat Cave. The Longleat Hedge Maze is an enigmatic challenge for explorers from 10 to 80 years old.
People with even the slightest interest in stately homes will find Longleat is a delight. Walls and shelves are packed with antiques and artworks, and the library with ancient books. Ceiling paintings in the state rooms are some of the most exquisite in England. A good option for visitors wishing to enjoy everything is to use a discount voucher against a Longleat pass for all attractions.
