The cross-country day is the centrepiece — a demanding four-kilometre course through the parkland of the estate, drawing enormous crowds along the natural banks and fences that make Burghley one of the most spectacular days in equestrian sport. The house itself is open to visitors during the event, and the combination of world-class sport and one of England”s finest historic houses makes Burghley genuinely exceptional.
Burghley is approximately 100 miles from Windsor and Ascot — around two hours by chauffeured car via the A1. We provide direct door-to-door transfers with full-day hire and return journey included.
