Longleat House and Safari Park Recently spending a week at the Longleat Forest Center Parcs it would have been a real missed opportunity not to visit the famous safari park that is on the doorstep.

I had been to many zoo's and safari parks in the past, though when I began to watch 'Animal Park' on the television, ... Read review

Advantages: A good day out
Disadvantages: Lazy animals!

...take a day out at Longleat Safari Park. It's not just as simple in jumping in the car as we live on the Isle of Wight. We had to book a ferry and try to get it at a cheap price. The cheapest we could get was £30 for a day return from Yarmouth to Limington. The Ferry takes half and hour to cross the Solent and from Limington it is a fairly straight forward drive getting up to Longleat. We headed towards Salisbury as we have been there several ...

...watching all the animals of Longleat safari park. So when Granny offered to take us for the day over half term, no one was about to say no! Longleat is dead easy to find, provided you look at a map first but take the A36 out of Bath heading towards Warminster and you soon pick up the signs.

Advantages: A great family day out, great attractions
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

Intro>>> I've visited Longleat a few times and keep wanting to go back even though I've gone round all of the attractions more then once. There is definately a draw to the place that keeps me coming back, or maybe it's just because I love watching animals in their habitats. The last time I went to Longleat was a few months ago, so it was rather busy with the children on summer holiday, but thankfully this didn't spoil the day. There is quite a ... Read review

There are loads more than you think- safari park, pets corner, the house, the hedge maze, butterfly house, train. If you buy entry into all the attractions individually then it ends up costing ...

Disadvantages: Food a bit pricey and none too special

...countryside to the rather stunning Longleat estate. There is no grandiose entrance to Longleat, rather a single windy track to a small entrance area,. Here is a very reasonably priced shop and toilets. (Most recommended as the safari area is quite long). Here is where you can choose to go straight to the house and grounds or through the safari, but why anyone would come all the way here and not do that bit is beyond me. Aah, the prices, a very ...
