Castle Howard Lakeside Holiday Park

Alan Rogers Review of Castle Howard Lakeside Holiday Park

A stay at Castle Howard Lakeside Holiday Park will give you the opportunity to explore one of Britain's most magnificent historic houses and gardens. Castle Howard is set in the Howardian Hills, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty just outside York. Built over 300 years ago by Sir John Vanbrugh, today the house remains home to the Howard family. Guests of the site receive a discounted admission to the House and Grounds when open to the public. As well as its lovely rural location, just a stone’s throw from the picturesque estate village of Coneysthorpe, the park is convenient for the Castle Howard courtyard shops and cafés. There is a dedicated area for tents and hardstanding for caravans and motorhomes. The site has grass & hardstanding pitches, most with electric hook-up point and a number of privately owned mobile homes.

With lots of footpaths and bridleways to explore the Howardian Hills and North York Moors National Park, the park is ideally located for walkers and cyclists. Alternatively, if you prefer to tour by car, or enjoy sightseeing, shopping and dining out, you are within easy reach of York, Malton, Pickering, Helmsley and the coastal resorts of Scarborough, Whitby and Filey.
