CASTLE HOWARD REVISITED

 SATURDAY - Drove over to Harome would have called in to the 14th century Star Inn but it is under refurbishment due to a fire in November last year guessing the thatched roof didn't help matters .

From Harome we went to Castle Howard I watched Brideshead Revisited years ago it was filmed there .We had the dogs so we only walked the ground and gardens we saw the magnificent water fountain  of Atlas it was built in 1853 for George Howard seventh Earl of Carlisle and is grade one listed .


The walled gardens where amazing the statues and design features truly magnificent we never made it to the lake but we will go back next time with a picnic .

We drove over to Kirkbymoorside to the Lemon Tree for fish and chips which we ate in the car freshly cooked they scored 8 /10 the and cost £18 for two fish ,chips two bread cakes a curry sauce and a can of Coca Cola .
