Castle Howard
To we visited Castle Howard, a stately home 15 miles north of York. One of the grandest private residences in Britain, most of it was built between 1699 and 1712 for the 3rd Earl of Carlisle, to a design by Sir John Vanbrugh. It is familiar to television and movie audiences as the fictional "Brideshead", from adaptations of Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited. Today, it is part of the Treasure Houses of England heritage group.
