  • Lilliput Lane's "Burghley Park Boathouse" is based on The Boathouse (About 500 Yards East South East of Burghley House, Burghley Park , PE9 3JY
    [IoE
    50314    BLB]

The best way to see the boathouse is via the Sculpture Garden which go to the lake
 

  • A salutary lesson: I arrived on a day when the House was closed and an hour before the gardens opened.

  • I though I would try and get to the boathouse through the open parkland.

  • I proceeded along a path to the east of the gardens and walked quite a way uphill.

  • I was just about to turn towards the lake when I was challenged by a man in a pick up who asked if I had permission to be there.

  •  I explained what I was trying to do. He said I was in an area not open to the public.

  • I pointed out I had not passed any notices to that effect....but...on glancing at the rifle with telescopic sight on the seat of his vehicle.... decided an argument was oti an option.

  • He did tell me I could probably get to the boathouse from the gardens, which was confirmed by people in the cafe.
