Burghley House is an Elizabethan mansion with gardens and parkland just outside Stamford in Lincolnshire.

Built in the late 1500's this Tudor mansion features opulent state rooms adorned with collections of artwork, period furniture and decorative ornaments. Some of the areas of particular interest are the Heaven room and the Hell staircase with ceiling and wall murals painted in the late 1600's depicting scenes from Heaven and Hell. There is also the Tudor old kitchen to see with a collection of pots, pans and utensils from the 18th and 19th centuries. Guided tours for groups, by prior arrangement, for an additional fee. The Treasury is an exhibition space which displays a changing selection of items belonging to the house.

The gardens include a 13 acre contemporary sculpture garden, the Garden of Surprises, a Rose garden, a mirrored maze, lots of water features, a moss house and the South gardens with topiary, lime trees and yew hedges.
