Castle Howard

website extract
"Castle Howard is one of Britain's finest historic houses and is still home to my family whose forebears conceived, designed, and built it over three centuries ago.

In this, the 21st century, the business flourishing on the estate means we are able to preserve, conserve, restore and improve not only the many fine buildings, but also the landscape in which those edifices reside.

I hope this site provides you with the information you seek. Indeed, I hope it encourages you to visit us and see for yourself how this magnificent enterprise has adapted into that which exists today."

Hon. Simon Howard -
