Sunday was a beautiful day to take a ride. We decided to travel about 30 miles to visit Longleat House and Safari park. The park was fun to ride through and see the animals up close and personal. You rode through in your own car which was a little hazardous when you went through the monkey ares. We almost lost a windshield wiper but manage to escape with out any major damage. Th entire estate has 900 acres that has been owned by the Marquess of Bath for centuries. The present "Lord Bath" lives in the private part of the house with his wife. He is quite a colorful character. Of all the home we have walked through this one is by far the best and most beautiful. In one room there was over 300 millions pounds of art work. Of course you can not take pictures inside the house but I did buy a post card with pictures of some of the ceiling in the house. You could spend hours walking around looking up just at the ceiling alone. The house is of Elizabethan architecture. We have added it to the list of must go places for our family and friends who come to visit.
