As well as being the first stately home to open its doors to the public it was also the first place, outside of Africa to open a Safari Park.


westbury white horse

The Westbury White Horse is the oldest of the Wiltshire horses. It is also one of the best situated, being high on a very steep slope and overlooking a very panoramic view. It is on Westbury Hill, on the edge of the Bratton Downs immediately below the Iron Age hill fort called Bratton Camp. Many believe that the initial carving was made to commemorate Alfred’s victory over the Danes at the battle of Ethandune in 878.
