Burghley is one of the largest and grandest houses of the first Elizabethan age, and has been home to the Cecil Family for over 400 years. A superb example of British heritage and an English mansion. A visit to this historic home transports you back through the centuries as you explore the quarter of a mile of staterooms, containing breathtaking painted ceilings by AntonioVerrio, including his Heaven Room and Hell Staircase, over 400 paintings, and a wonderful collection of Japanese porcelain.
In addition to this, to reflect our starring roles in the films Pride and Prejudice and The Da Vinci Code, we will be celebrating the role of the films at Burghley with a costume exhibition of those used in Pride and Prejudice and the launch of The Burghley Code, our very own mystery tour through the seventeenth century Italian paintings on show in our State Rooms.
