A Family of 4 Day Out at Castle Howard, Yorkshire including the Walled & Woodland Gardens and Skelf Island Adventure Playground
Donated by: Castle Howard
A special opportunity to enjoy a family day out at one of England’s most stunning stately homes. Located 15 miles north of York, Castle Howard has been home to the Howard family for more than 300 years.
You will be able to explore the iconic architecture and beautiful interiors during your visit, including the Great Hall which rises 70 feet into the air.
The Gardens and Grounds at Castle Howard include lakes, follies, woodland, temple and statues, all of which bring out the colour and drama of the changing seasons.
The visit will also enable your children to run free for an hour or two playing among the trees and listening to the sound of the birds at the Skelf Island Adventure Playground. With a huge roped bridge, connecting the original playground to the island, slides, tunnels, walkways and a climbing wall, you and your family will enjoy outdoor fun on a big scale.
During your visit you can also enjoy access to Castle Howard’s Farm Shop, Courtyard Café and Garden Centre.
