Castle Howard
October 19th 11:00-16:00
The Howard story is one of ambition, public service, liberal politics and artistic endeavours. Although building work began in 1699, the construction of Castle Howard took over 100 years to complete, spanning the lifetimes of three Earls. Sitting in the Howardian Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the wider estate reflects a diversity of activities and environmental stewardship is at the heart of this. Surrounded by almost 9,000 acres of farmland, woodland, rolling hills, lakes and rivers Castle Howard's natural environment is as beautiful as the house itself. Of this, approximately 3,200 acres are tenanted and let as nine fully equipped farm holdings and 15 bare land agreements. 2,300 acres are farmed on behalf of the Castle Howard Estate and the remainder is managed specifically for wildlife and habitat benefits. Environmental stewardship is at the heart of the wider management of the estate. This includes schemes for the regeneration of hedgerows and field margins to encourage biodiversity.
The afternoon will start with buffet lunch in the Grecian Hall and then move on to a series of activities and free time to visit the House (free flow/self guided). Activities to be enjoyed on the day would currently look to include the following;
- Collection & Archives handling session with Curator (tailored to specific interests of the group).
- Gardens or Estate Tour
- Sloemotion Gin/Hedgerow Activity
- Yorkshire Arboretum Bee Activity
