I don’t have live access to current news right now, but I can summarize the latest widely reported ownership status of Longleat House based on recent coverage.
-
Longleat House is the ancestral seat of the Marquesses of Bath. As of the most recent public reporting, the property remains associated with the Thynne family, with Ceawlin Thynn, Viscount Weymouth, managing Longleat since 2010 after taking over from his father. This arrangement keeps the estate under direct family stewardship rather than being sold to external owners.[1][2]
-
Longleat Enterprises has continued to operate multiple components of the estate, including the safari park and related ventures, and there have been occasional announcements about expansions or acquisitions within the Longleat group (for example, hotel acquisitions and new projects) that support the estate’s diversified business model while keeping ownership within the family framework.[3][7]
If you’d like, I can search for the very latest updates and provide live-cited sources.
