Lakeview of Castle Howard


IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY

Welcome to Yorkshire's finest historic house & estate.  Home to the Howard family for over 300 years, Castle Howard is a magnificent 18th-century residence set within 1,000 acres of breathtaking landscape.  Visit and enjoy world-renowned collections, stunning architecture and inspiring family stories. Relax amid idyllic gardens, enjoy woodland and lakeside walks, or encourage younger ones to let off steam on the adventure playground.

Castle Howard's changing programme of events and exhibitions offers something for all the family, as well as an excuse to visit time and time again. When visiting, do not forget to visit our estate shops, which include a busy Farm Shop and Plant Centre. If you are planning to camp or caravan locally, why not stay at our Lakeside Holiday Park?

So much more than a visitor attraction, Castle Howard is also a thriving rural estate with many traditional enterprises such as farming and forestry.  The profits generated from all estate businesses contribute towards the ongoing restoration and conservation of 200 listed buildings and monuments across the estate.

Find Castle Howard just a short drive from York, within the Howardian Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
