One of the largest and grandest houses of the 16th Century, Burghley is the extraordinary legacy of William Cecil, Lord High Treasurer to Queen Elizabeth I. Generations of his family have lived here ever since, ensuring this great House and Estate continues to thrive. Still a much-loved family home, Burghley is now owned by the Burghley House Preservation Trust, a charity committed to the conservation and preservation of the House and Estate. Two spectacular gardens, each with their own distinct atmosphere and beauty. Discover horticulture, sculpture and sensational seasonal colour as you stroll through the undulating landscape of Capability Brown's lost gardens. Then step into a world of classical civilisation, astrology and astronomy in the highly entertaining Garden of Surprises. A sensory delight with the unexpected at every turn.
