Day Trips in York

Castle Howard

Castle Howard is within easy driving distance of York and is well worth taking a day to visit.  Construction on of this historic home began in 1700 and continued for the next 100 years.  The house is surrounded by magnificent 18th century landscaping, beautiful lakes, and wonderful statues.  The house is still home to the Howard Family and the staff is very courteous.  Castle Howard also houses several impressive art collections.
