THE ESTATE

Castle Howard is well known as one of England's finest historic houses, but the landscape in which it sits is equally worth exploring, with the approach to Castle Howard being as impressive as the arrival. The estate is situated within the Howardian Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and features over 200 listed buildings and monuments.

Farming and forestry have always been important sources of income for the estate, and this remains unchanged today with 6,000 acres of land given over to agriculture,  as well as a further 1,730 acres dedicated to woodland.
