Castle Howard, Yorkshire, UK
Dates: Usually July.
The construction of Castle Howard took more than 100 years before it could be said to have been finally completed, and spanned the lifetime of three earls and numerous architects and craftsmen. As the house was built and decorated so the grounds were filled with lakes, temples, monuments and a grand mausoleum. A thriving estate grew up encompassing several villages and acres of farmland. Indoors, furniture, paintings, sculptures and a host of other treasures were assembled by successive generations after their tours of the Continent.
