Burghley House, Elizabethan stately home in Barnack, England
The grand stone residence features 35 main rooms, over 80 smaller chambers, and extensive terraces that overlook meticulously maintained formal gardens.
William Cecil, principal advisor to Queen Elizabeth I, directed the construction of this monumental residence between 1555 and 1587 at a cost of 21,000 pounds.
The interior displays numerous Italian paintings from the 17th century, including works by Paolo Veronese, Artemisia Gentileschi, and Luca Giordano.
Visitors can explore the state apartments and gardens from March through October, with guided tours providing detailed information about the architectural features.
The extensive grounds, redesigned by Capability Brown in the 18th century, include a man-made lake and host the annual Burghley Horse Trials competition.
