Welburn Village Shop & Café

Highlight • Cafe

Great ride, very varied and mostly off road. No massive climbs although there are some fairly steep bits, but these are short. The ground was very dry when we rode it yet there was still some mud in a few places in the woods - nothing to worry about but perhaps not a route for wet conditions.

New River Bridge, Castle Howard Estate

Highlight • Bridge

New River Bridge is part of the Castle Howard Estate. It's quite striking how the grassy track runs over it. The Mausoleum is right next to it, as is The Temple of Four Winds (yes, it can be very windy here!).

Temple of the Four Winds, Castle Howard

Highlight • Monument

Building began at Castle Howard between 1699 and 1701, but construction was still going on when the architect John Vanbrugh died in 1726. In fact, the house still wasn’t complete when the Earl died in 1738. His son in law took over the build with different architectural style and it was eventually completed in 1801. The garden was also landscaped over these years.
A great fire broke out in 1940 destroying the dome and many rooms. It's been a restoration project ever since, with the dome replaced in the early 1960's and the garden hall rebuilt in 1981.
Today it's open to the paying public who can visit and tour the house and gardens. There are footpaths through the estate so you can also walk through for free and view the buildings and gardens.
