Longford Castle, a magnificent Elizabethan manor built in the late 16th century, sits gracefully along the River Avon near Salisbury. Its distinctive triangular layout and turrets evoke a fairy-tale charm, while inside, visitors can view an exceptional art collection featuring works by Van Dyck, Gainsborough, and other masters. The castle is still a private residence, but guided tours offer access to the grand state rooms and the beautiful grounds, where manicured lawns meet the river's edge.
