Magnificent Baroque 18th-century stately home designed by Vanbrugh, in extensive gardens. It's much in demand as a film and TV location, best known being Brideshead Revisited.
Castle Howard is an English country house in Henderskelfe, North Yorkshire, 15 miles (24 km) north of York. A private residence, it has been the home of the Carlisle branch of the Howard family for more than 300 years. Castle Howard has been used as a filming location in several films and television shows, including in Granada Television's 1981 television adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited and in a 2008 film adaptation.
