Parkland & Monumentswalking from Castle Howard
4.4 miles (7km)or 5 miles (8km)easy/moderate circular walk
This walk starts outside the courtyard to Castle Howard – a perfect spot for a pre-walk coffee or post-walk refreshment. It skirts past the village of Coneysthorpe, with its welcoming bench on the green and Georgian Chapel. Both the longer and shorter walks give fantastic views of Castle Howard, The Great Lake, The Temple of the Four Winds and the Mausoleum. The walks give a feel for Castle Howard nestled in its parkland, farmed and forested landscape. The routes converge to bring you up the grand tree lined Avenue to The Obelisk.
