Wilton House

One of England's greatest country houses — 500 years of art, architecture and Wiltshire grandeur

Wilton House, home to the Earl of Pembroke for nearly 500 years, is one of England's outstanding country houses — a palatial 17th-century Baroque mansion set in magnificent parkland just 3 miles from Salisbury. The state rooms are furnished with one of the most important private art collections in Britain, including works by Van Dyck, Rembrandt, Rubens and Breughel.

The house was largely rebuilt by Inigo Jones after a fire in 1647, and the Double Cube Room — considered one of the finest rooms in any English house — was designed specifically to display Van Dyck's enormous state portraits of the Pembroke family. The surrounding 21-acre grounds include formal gardens, a Palladian bridge, and riverside walks.

Wilton House has featured in numerous films and TV series including The Crown (as Buckingham Palace), Pride and Prejudice, The Young Victoria, Barry Lyndon, and Bridgerton. Visitors can experience this cinematic backdrop while exploring the genuine history that makes it one of the most fascinating houses in England.
