I am planning on spending a day at Castle Howard and was wondering if anyone has visited there and what is the best way to get there without hiring a car from York. Thanks so much.
At www.castlehoward.co.uk you will find information on how to get there.
The landscaping of the surrounding park will knock you over. And you may recognize the striking entrance to the house, used as the principal location for the TV series and movie of the same name, Brideshead Revisited.This is the webpage Norma found for you: how to get to Castle Howard without a carScroll down, it gives clear instructions on how to reach it without a car, four choices.
You can get a coach (bus) from York to Castle Howard. Castle Howard is 15 miles north east of York.
There are several buses a day.
