About Castle Howard

Castle Howard is one of Britain’s finest historic Houses, situated just outside York in the Howardian Hills - a National Landscape. Marvel at dramatic architecture and interiors. Built over 300 years ago by Sir John Vanbrugh, today it remains home to the Howard family. Discover the house at your own pace, admiring its awe-inspiring architecture and interiors, with something to capture everyone’s imagination. Friendly and knowledgeable guides are on hand to share stories of the House, family and collections with visitors of all ages. Enjoy stunning scenery all year, with almost 1,000 acres of Grade 1 listed parkland and gardens to explore. Spend the day in a monumental landscape studded with statues, temples, lakes and fountains and admire sweeping countryside views. Meander along woodland paths and in the tranquil walled garden. Children will love the lakeside adventure playground and can run wild in the gardens.The recent addition of Skelf Island is magically inhabited by otherworldly Skelves, and is made up of treetop nest structures, connected by rope bridges, slides, nets and climbing equipment and is suitable for all ages! Exhibitions and events throughout the year include Easter activities and various exhibitions.  Be sure to leave time to browse the shops and cafes, including farm shop, gift shop and garden centre.
