We drove up to Burghley House on Thursday - it's a magnificent Elizabethan house in Stamford, Lincolnshire (the town itself is also very handsome). It was a nice day out - the house is fantastic (more interesting if you have someone like my wife to tell you about the history of the Cecils, who built it). The grounds are also beautiful - landscaped by Capability Brown. There's also a modern sculpture garden.
