Longleat: Hidden Delights

by Ken-out-of-Bath

All over the grounds of Longleat you will find some great works of art and statues.

Although the recent acquisistions of Lord Bath are... erm... open to interpretation I really enjoyed some of the older pieces, especially the nymphs on horseback, shown here.

Giraffes of Longleat

by Ken-out-of-Bath

"Elegance in Motion"

The Giraffes of Longleat are especially beautiful. With their long necks and long legs they have the grace and poise of ballerinas and yet they can run at speeds of up to 35mph and, over long distances can comfortably maintain 10mph.
