Castle Howard, Yorkshire, Mads Stage

The interior of this early 18th century North Yorkshire stately home is just as spectacular as its magnificent exterior and impressive gardens which are crowned by the elaborate fountain designed for the 1851 Great Exhibition. Completed in 1737 for Charles Howard, third Earl of Carlisle, and designed by Sir John Vanburgh who was later to conceive Blenheim Palace, it remains in the Howard family. In recent years it was used as the setting for the television version of Evelyn Waugh's 'Brideshead Revisited'. Other treasures to be discovered in the 1,00 acre grounds, after passing through the huge pyramid adorned gate house, include two lakes, the Temple of the Four Winds and the Mausoleum. The house itself boasts a fine collection of period costumes.
