Today, we enjoy an included excursion to stately Castle Howard. Set in a thousand acres of sweeping parkland, this is one of England's finest historic houses. The house was constructed in 1699 and took over 100 years to fully complete, spanning the lifetimes of three earls. The great fire of 1940 destroyed much of the building, including its original dome, but there has since been a restoration and conservation project to restore the house to its former glory. The gardens and grounds are also extensive, with highlights including a walled garden, woodland, temples and monuments. You may recognise the house as a filming location for many famous TV shows and films – Bridgerton, Young Victoria and Brideshead Revisited to name a few.
