		Longleat has worked hard to create a reputation as a major family attraction, with a plethora of theme park activities and the world-famous safari park, but at its core the estate still revolves around the superb Elizabethan country house.

		Longleat is heaven for families; there is so much to do that the only problem will be trying to fit it all in.
