Hatfield House has been named among UK's grandest stately homes following new analysis.

South Western Railway calculated a number of factors, including Google Reviews, monthly search volumes, television appearances and pricing to award each home a score out of 100.

Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire came out on top with a score of 95, while Hatfield House was ranked in seventh with a score 73.7.

The Hertfordshire country home ranked second for the most TV and film appearances - only behind Blenheim - with 46, after featuring in the likes of 1989's Batman, the Tomb Raider series, Antiques Roadshow, Paddington and The Crown.

Research found that Hatfield House has 1,200 five-star reviews, had 33,100 monthly searches and an average ticket price of £36.

Surprisingly, nearby Knebworth House, which has appeared in plenty of big and small screen productions, did not make the top 10.

Hampton Court Palace in Richmond and Chatsworth House in Derbyshire completed the top three.

Burghley House in Peterborough, Montacute House in Somerset, Rangers House in London, Bletchley Park in Milton Keynes, Alnwick Castle in Northumberland and Highclere Castle in Newbury also made the list.
