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!).

View of Castle Howard Mausoleum

Highlight • Historical Site

You can not unfortunately get close to this due to it being on private land.

Tip by

Temple of the Four Winds

Highlight • Historical Site

You can visit the Temple as part of a tour of Castle Howard, but there are also walks in the grounds nearby. There’s a lovely circular walk from Welburn, a lovely village a few kilometres away, which goes passed here and some of the other foleys.

Temple of Venus Ruins

Highlight • Monument

Temple of Venus was built in 1730 as an open rotunda as eight Tuscan columns under an octagonal dome. The structure collapsed in 1940s, but the statue of Venus still can be seen today; not here, though, but in the Rose Garden nearby.

Coneysthorpe Chapel

Highlight • Other

Nice little Chapel in a quaint area of the estate.

Coneysthorpe Bank and Centenary Way — view of Castle Howard

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

This is a fantastic bit on the Centenary Way long-distance trail. Walking south, first you will enjoy the peace and quiet of the woodlands of Coneysthorpe Bank, and then, once you have emerged from the trees, fantastic views of Castle Howard in the distance over the green and pleasant countryside here. Lovely - food for the soul!

View of Castle Howard from Hepton Hill

Highlight • Summit

There are great views from this spot, right next to Hepton Hill (the summit is actually on the road by the same name, just next to this place). It's a lovely vista, particularly towards Castle Howard into the distance and the hills in general. There is a seat provided as well
