View of Castle Howard Mausoleum

Highlight • Viewpoint

A great view of the Castle Howard's Mausoleum from here. The Mausoleum remains the burial place of the Howard family. From afar, from the track here, this is a truly spectacular view.

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.

The Alamo and Thackadale Lane Path

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Simple is best! This diverted path round The Alamo on the edge of Spring Wood gives wonderful views of the rolling hills nearby. Follow this way north into the wood, and the bright Thackadale Lane is a great and comfortable for running, with the sense of quiet in the woodland.
