Castle Howard Grounds at Castle Howard

1, 000 acres of breathtaking landscape filed with temples, statues, lakes and fountains. Inside the walled garden you will find collections of old and new roses, plus ornamental vegetable garden. While the serpentine pathways of Ray Wood reveal seasonal collections rhododendrons, azaleas, magnolias and Pieris.
