This is a rare opportunity to explore five of Britains finest stately homes. This is not just about some of the worlds best-loved buildings, spectacular as they are, but also about the treasures within which tell a human story, from the tapestries which the First Duke of Marlborough commissioned to celebrate his triumph at the Battle of Blenheim, to the Italian pietra dura cabinet which the Medicis gave to the owners of Burghley the greatest Elizabethan house in England.
