- @donfranktv takes a walk around Castle Howard in Yorkshire
Castle Howard is a stately home in North Yorkshire, England, within the civil parish of Henderskelfe, located 15 miles (24 km) north of York. It is a private residence and has been the home of the Carlisle branch of the Howard family for more than 300 years. Castle Howard is not a fortified structure, but the term "castle" is sometimes used in the name of an English country house that was built on the site of a former castle.
The 3rd Earl of Carlisle first spoke to William Talman, a leading architect, but commissioned Vanbrugh, a fellow member of the Kit-Cat Club, to design the building. Castle Howard was that gentleman-dilettante's first foray into architecture, but he was assisted by Nicholas Hawksmoor. Vanbrugh's design evolved into a Baroque structure with two symmetrical wings projecting to either side of a north-south axis. The crowning central dome was added to the design at a late stage, after building had begun. Construction began at the east end, with the East Wing constructed from 1701 to 1703, the east end of the Garden Front from 1701 to 1706, the Central Block (including dome) from 1703 to 1706, and the west end of the Garden Front from 1707 to 1709. All are exuberantly decorated in Baroque style, with coronets, cherubs, urns and cyphers, with Roman Doric pilasters on the north front and Corinthian on the south. Many interiors were decorated by Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini.

Hi Dave & Dawn, really glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for the kind words. Was a tricky one to put together as there is so much to see and film - i would highly recommend the trip out there - its a full day out. Have a great rest of the week, Don ❤
Fabulous video Don! One of the best we've seen of Castle Howard... wonderful photography you captured it perfectly with your usual artistic flair... it is definitely one of our top 3 houses in England. Pleased the atlas fountain was running for you too! One of your best videos for sure. We loved it! 👏
Hi Neil & Ant - Thanks so much, that really means a lot. I was taken back by the scale of the place, could have spent so much more time there. Soon as i walked into the dome room it was like nothing else i had seen, sitting at my number 1 house in England right now. Worth every penny to get in. Glad you both enjoyed 🙂
@donfranktv we've already had a rewatch!!! Yes the domed hall stops you in your tracks! If you loved Castle Howard you'd just be in 7th heaven at Blenheim Palace! 😊
