Wentworth Woodhouse
Wentworth Woodhouse is a Grade I listed country house in the village of Wentworth near Rotherham, South Yorkshire. With an East Front of 606 feet, this impressive mansion is longer than Buckingham Palace and is reputed to have one of the longest country house facades in Europe.
The history of Wentworth Woodhouse is inextricably linked with the history of the great aristocratic families – the Wentworths, Watsons and Fitzwilliams – who presided over it for generations. Wentworth Woodhouse is now owned by a charity, which is embarking on a major restoration project. The house is open to the public for tours, events and weddings, as well as being a popular location for film and TV productions.
