Please note that we do not allow bikes or scooters within the Grounds, other than for under 5s who require small scooters or balance bikes. However, we can recommend cycle routes in the wider area, and you are welcome to use racks in the car park if cycling to us or using our Courtyard facilities.
Ball games with small children are okay on the North Front space only, not in any other areas of the gardens or near buildings and sculptures. No team sports or adult ball games.
Height restrictions apply when approaching Castle Howard from eastbound on the A64 due to low and narrow archways on the approach road. Vehicles over 3.43m high x 2.60m wide should continue on the A64 to Malton and approach Castle Howard via Coneysthorpe (follow the brown signs from Malton).
