England, Wales & Scotland - Yorkshire
Castle Howard
( Sightseeing / Historic Buildings )
A Karen Brown Recommendation
|
York
England United Kingdom |
Designed by Sir John Vanbrugh for the 3rd Earl of Carlisle, a member of the Howard family, Castle Howard was built between 1699 and 1726—one glimpse of this majestic building and you understand why it took 27 years to complete. Its immense façade reflects in a broad lake and it is surrounded by a vast parkland and approached down a long, tree-lined avenue. It isn’t really a castle at all but one of England’s grandest homes, as impressive inside as out, full of fine furniture and paintings. This grand setting is better known to many visitors as “Brideshead” from the television dramatization of Evelyn Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited. It is still owned by the Howard family.
Located along this Karen Brown Itinerary:
Dales of North Yorkshire
Castle Howard is one of Britain’s finest historic houses and is still home to the Howard family whose forebears conceived, designed, and built it over three centuries ago.
