Tuesday Photo Challenge – Longleat, England
The theme for Frank’s Tuesday Photo Challenge this week is: Field
We went to London during our trip to Europe. We arrived five days prior to the tour group. My childhood friend and her husband took us sightseeing. This stately home reminds me of Downton Abbey!
Longleat is an English stately home in Somerset, England. It is an early example of the Elizabethan prodigy house. The house is set in 1,000 acres of parkland with 4,000 acres of let farmland and 4,000 acres of woodland. It was the first stately home to open to the public, and the Longleat estate includes the first safari park outside Africa.
The lovely cottage caught my attention and I took several photos of it. The last photo shows the monkeys freely roam in the safari park and climb on the cars that drive through a small area of the park.

What happens to the monkeys and other wildlife during the English winter?

It’s a good question because it rains so much in England.

I would be more at home in the cottage too, but I like the view of the mansion from afar.

It’s hard to understand the reason for such mansion!

That home looks like a palace. Beautiful place and grounds and so lovely that it’ open to the public. But can you imagine dusting it? Lol. The cottage is adorable – right out of Sleeping Beauty. I could live there! Thanks for the tour, Miriam.

You’re welcome. Diana. Yes, I prefer living in that cottage than the mansion. They kept a quarter for private residence. When we tour that place, we saw a painting done by someone named Hurdle. I told my husband. He had no idea about it.
