Tourists hoping to explore the 400-year-old Jacobean mansion's famous rooms, such as the magnificent Marble Hall and gold ceilinged Long Gallery, will only be able to tour the house on certain days over the coming month.
Lord Salisbury's home will only be open to the public at weekends and a few selected dates from Saturday, August 3 to Sunday, September 1.

"In addition to this Hatfield House will open on the 16th, 22nd, 23rd and 26th August.
