Castle Howard
20 minutes drive to the magnificant house and gardens at Castle Howard . The 1000 acres of gardens are scattered with lakes, lawns, fountains and woodland areas – the highlights being the Temple of the Four Winds and the Mausoleum. The 18th century Walled Garden is filled with roses, delphiniums and an ornamental vegetable garden which is perfect for a relaxing stroll, or take a little more time and explore the woodlands with their beautiful seasonal displays of rhododendrons, magnolias and azaleas. After exploring these wonderful gardens why not put your feet up and treat yourself to a cream tea or cake in their Courtyard Cafe, Lakeside Kiosk or Fitzroy Rooms Restaurant. A perfect day out with something for everyone.
