The view from my "office"

April 12 - continuing rest of the day onto Castle Howard (1/2)

A great home to visit as they were designed by John Vanbrugh (not completed in his lifetime) and Nicholas Hawksmoor (garden monuments) The dome was the key attraction. It was rebuilt after being burnt down in 1940 to the original dimension as old photographs as faithfuly as possible. The gardens and the surrounding folleys took advantage of the beautiful rolling vistas of North Yorkshire to great effect.
