Longleat ?



Yeah, its a stately home for the Second Marquess of Bath, which is open to the public to keep the house in order, with a safari and attractions in its grounds.

It's a nice photo but I could have done with a few more.

Longleat ?

Longleat is a stately home in Wiltshire which is the seat of the Marquess of Bath. http://www.longleat.co.uk/about-longleat.html
It's famous for the safari park & was also the location of the UK heat of the 2006 Red Bull Air Races which was cancelled due to bad weather.

Yeah it is.
Nice shot mate. Give me that road on a clear day with no traffic, and a Ferrari F430 and I could easily spend the whole day flooring it up and down there. ;D :)

Craig, you could try it, but it would hurt a lot, the road, like most british roads, its bumpy as hell!!!

I'd prefer an abandoned 10000ft runway ;)
