Castle Howard

Castle Howard celebrates its creator and architect Sir John Vanbrugh (1664-1726) throughout 2026, the 300th anniversary of his death.

Castle Howard’s 21st Century Renaissance will open to the public this spring following a major renovation of its historic interiors.

Elderly residents of a peaceful village cul-de-sac beside the Howardian Hills National Landscape have been told their pleas to stop their street being used to access a housing development have come to nothing after the 8,800-acre Castle Howard Estate refused to let the builders cross a field.
