Castle Howard

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Here is John Vanbrugh's extraordinary baroque vision realized in all its extravagance for the 3rd Earl of Carlisle. One of the very first landscape gardens was built here, and there are paintings by Gainsborough and Rubens. The huge central dome has been restored after a 20th century fire.
Garden: Gardens on a grand scale set off the baroque splendour of Castle Howard. The park covers 1000 acres, and is encrusted with architecture: the Mauopleum, the Temple of the Four Winds and the New River Bridge; restored waterworks. And of course a walled garden with collections of old and modern roses. Ray Wood shelters rare trees, shrubs, and fine rhododendrons and azaleas. more details ...
