Castle Howard

Castle Howard is arguably Great Britains loveliest stately home.

And according to the people at Lonely Planet, it is one of the top ten greatest mansions in the World! So that's not a bad recommendation for a visit if you're in the region .

Located in an official "area of outstanding natural beauty" - the Howardian Hills - and just fifteen miles from Rosella Cottage, Castle Howard was  the setting chosen by Somerset Maughn for his famous novel “Brideshead Revisited”.

In recent times, it has also been the site of musical spectaculars such as the Last Night of the Proms.

No trip to the North York Moors would be complete without a visit to Castle Howard.

There are over 1,000 acres of grounds to explore, plus the house itself; and a farm shop, and garden centre.
