An incredible day out at Burghley House where the Crown was filmed

I visited Burghley House on Sunday with some family and it was one of the most impressive stately homes I have ever visited. There is almost too much to do and see! Many films have been filmed here including the Crown and Pride and Prejudice. At one point of our tour, we were told that we were standing in the same room where Olivia Coleman as the Queen had received the news of Lord Mountbatten’s death. We were also told that the Christmas at Sandringham scene with Princess Diana had been filmed in some of these rooms. I hope you enjoy this varied tour as much as I did.

About Burghley House

Burghley is one of the largest and grandest surviving houses of the sixteenth century and a magnificent example of the great Elizabethan ‘prodigy’ houses. Conceived by William Cecil, Lord High Treasurer to Queen Elizabeth I, between 1555 and 1587, Burghley is a testament to the ambition and vision of the most powerful courtier of the first Elizabethan age.
