Burghley is a testament to the ambition and vision of the most powerful courtier of the first elizabethan age. Burghley House, the cecil family’s home for over sixteen generations, continues to be the centerpiece for this sense of shared legacy. The estate covers an array of residential, agricultural, and commercial properties including hotels, pubs, and offices with additional quarries, gardens, and allotments as well as the rights to sporting activities.
