Longleat Safari Park
No family trip to the South West is complete without a trip to the unforgettable Longleat Safari Park. The safari takes around 2-3 hours, so there’s plenty of time to spend exploring the rest of the grounds, including Longleat House and the Hedge Maze. Longleat is situated just outside of Somerset, so consider a day trip here at the end of your stay.
The mischievous monkeys love collecting loose fitting car parts.. you have been warned!
