The Festival of Light at Longleat, Wiltshire

Now that's a big pile of presents to wake up to today! Every winter, thousands of Chinese lanterns illuminate Longleat in the iconic Wiltshire estate, which is transformed into a glowing wonderland as part of the Festival of Light. Longleat occupies 9,000 acres of rolling countryside and is noted for its Elizabethan country house, safari park, giant hedge maze and parkland landscaped by Capability Brown. If you celebrate Christmas at your house, we hope you have a peaceful holiday.
