Castle Howard - One of the Largest Stately Homes in England

[@cgkennedy]

Castle Howard was used as the Flyte family pile in Brideshead Revisited.

[@Hannahxx1971]

I stayed on the grounds here as a child in the late 1970s. I'll never forget walking in the early summer morning around by the mausoleum to the sound of peacocks. It's an absolutely wonderful place!

[@jacquelinenoble6640]

As a widow who is no longer able to get to these places anymore, i can't thank you enough for all the work you put into your videos. It's just wonderful and very much appreciated. Thank you so much. 😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@paulinedixon3490]

Jacqueline Noble. I would recommend anyone to pay a visit. The Castle and grounds are beautiful. My personal favourite place. It’s quite a distance from me but I really want to go this year. 😊😊

[@MemorySeekers]

Our pleasure so glad we can share it with you.

[@lorrainerichardson3280]

Another exquisite building that I didn't know existed. The interior is breath taking and a total contrast to the boring modern buildings being built today. A peek into how the gentry lived. Another vlog that I will watch over again as there is so much to see. Thanks Simon and Will, I love starting my Sunday mornings strolling around new places with you. Take care =-)

[@MemorySeekers]

Glad we have been able to show you a new place you were unaware of Lorraine. As always thank you for watching.

[@upscalebohemian5372]

Watch Brideshead Revisited. It was used in both the superior miniseries and the lackluster (too abbreviated) film version.

[@terryhoath1983]

"The fourth and fifth Earls WOULD fill the house". NO ! Why the conditional ? Try, "The fourth and fifth Earls filled the house .....". " Guests WOULD have arrived in horse-drawn carriages". If they had been invited ..... is that what the narrator means ? Pellegini's paintings were not, and are not, "incredible". They are perfectly credible. They are there aren't they ? If the narrator wishes to gush, he could describe them as "superlative" or something similar,(they are not), but certainly not "incredible" I thank your Simon and Will, nonetheless, for this video. They have shewn me enough to save me from wasting money on a visit. I had my suspicions and they have confirmed that it is, along with everything that Vanbrugh and/or Hawksmoor had anything to do with ..... GROSSLY UGLY .....as is St Paul's Cathedral AND that monstrosity in Oxfordshire. I would rather look up at the ceiling in my local Lidl.

[@andrewthornhill7042]

@Lorraine Richardson The gentry still live like that. The Howard built the house and continue to reside here.

[@sarac.3259]

​@@terryhoath1983 Do you need to be so rude and patronising? I spotted six errors in your comment. You clearly don't check what you write (or if you did then go back to school).

This channel deserves so much more attention than it recieves

[@MemorySeekers]

We are getting there, and are very happy with almost getting to 100k. It takes time we have been going almost 4 years and it gets harder each day to reply to all the comments!

Well said…and it has to be said!

Lol. This type of idiotic comment receives so much more attention than it deserves.

[@xr6lad]

Forever in my mind as a staring role in Brideshead Revisited.

[@karin5878]

Castle Howard.... ich habe noch nie so etwas schönes und beeindruckendes gesehen , das Haus und die Gärten machen mich sprachlos. Ich würde mehrere Tage brauchen um alles in mich aufzunehmen , allein der Geschirrschrank mit diesem wunderschönen Porzellan, die Wand und Gewölbe Malereien , die immens vielen Bilder, die Statuen und und und... einfach grandios.Danke für dieses einmalige Video und die Hintergrundinformationen, eine Reise die ihr wohl auch nich so schnell vergessen werdet, ich glaube diese Bilder lassen einen lange nicht los. Vielen Dank 🙏🙋‍♀️🇩🇪

[@SKF358]

So great it's still in the family.

[@Laskagleex]

Thank you for making this video. Not all of us can travel, and watching this video was very enjoyable and educational.

[@MemorySeekers]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@SpanishEclectic]

There is something about those wide open spaces, with the "natural" landscape designed to perfection. I hadn't realized the house took 100 years to build! The art collection there is incredible! I recall a few scenes from Brideshead Revisited, where the actors walked those long halls with statues, and had some hard conversations in the chapel. Thank you for braving the rain for a better look at the grounds. Another great tour!

[@MemorySeekers]

Yes the artwork is amazing, it really needs to be seen first hand and close up. What a collection! It was a wet old day but I think we managed ok!

[@harshap7224]

I appreciate your efforts & perfection in each video, even the background music which is sp pleasant & relaxing... Beauty of castle is just beyond words, it's architecture, lake, gardens, parks & its treasured collection of antiques are so interesting & fascinating 😀😊 England's beauty was what i learned from books 📚, since I never been there till day but your videos bought life to my imaginations.. thank u

[@iefarrington5473]

Thank you for your commentary ànd brilliant photography.... Valérie ❤️ no

[@erepsekahs]

Charles Carlisle was ''A gentleman of the King's bedchamber. The duties of the Lords and Gentleman of the Bedchamber originally consisted of assisting the monarch with dressing, waiting on him when he ate, guarding access to his bedchamber and closet and providing companionship.....and providing companionship. Do you think that these days he would be known as a pimp to royalty? That is a serious question.

[@leanneneville2431]

Enjoying this in Australia at 1am as I couldn’t sleep. Your voice is very calming and the video is excellent, keep up the good work.👏👏👏💗🇦🇺

[@Loved-15j]

Thanks for the tour of Castle Howard, I love the purely English style of castles, the architecture, painting, sculpture and engineering structures that the English aristocracy is famous for are impressive. Fantastic garden, the owners had a delicate taste and sense of style, the nature is amazing, these fountains are simply suitable for filming a movie and no scenery is needed. I wish England to cherish all this beauty, this is a memory of history, of those people who created these beautiful castles that we look at and admire. Hello from St.Petersburg. Come, we also have many palaces and something to admire. With a deep sense of gratitude. Thank you sincerely for the pleasure. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@angelaberni8873]

Are you joking. English? Italians had a lot to do with this castle.

[@Феникс-ц1ж]

Спасибо за интересную экскурсию. Очень красиво. Удачи и процветания хозяину замка. До новых встреч. 🤝🤝🤝

[@heatherstephens9295]

Simply beautiful. The workmanship on absolutely everything is breathtaking ❤

[@franklinstephen3268]

Hello 👋 how're you doing?

[@juliagardner9750]

Thank you Will and Simon for another excellent tour and commentary on Castle Howard. It brings back memories of my favourite BBC adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's book Brideshead revisited first shown early 1980's

[@Patricia-vd7yn]

I first found out about it watching Brideshead Revisited. Back in the 80s. Incredible house and incredible miniseries

[@audkarinen6875]

I’m glad that some families were able to preserve their legacy

[@rickluque6429]

FANTASTIC video . That is one Amazing Home. And you even get to your it . .. amazing. Thanks again for sharing It Sir🙏🏼.

[@K1rst1e]

We visited today. It was amazing, all decorated for Christmas. 🌲 Nice to find out more about it's history.

[@JimNicholls]

A great video. Who would have thought there'd be a gloomy wet day on the Yorkshire moors? You did well to accomplish so much outdoor filming in those conditions. Looking forward to the next one, where it looks as if you were luckier with the weather.

[@MemorySeekers]

It was the worst day of the week, that we had on the trip. I think we were pretty lucky with the weather generally. It can be a wet place to visit that is for sure! Whitby was lovely and got quite hot in the afternoon! Hope you like it Jim.

[@shubhadadharwadkar2485]

Visited Castle Howard imi early 1983. It was Magnificent!

[@ingridstavridis1971]

I visited this beautiful castel some years ago, but on a sunny day. Insider we could not see much because of renovations. The most impressive building for me was the Tempel of the four Winds and the overwhelming view over the Park and the lakes. Unforgettable. Thanks for you Video.

[@WouterTukker]

You braved the english weather and your viewers were rewarded for it: thanks for showing us a glorious piece of good old England on a typically english rainy day!

[@MemorySeekers]

Our pleasure!

[@janetbyrd2169]

I just started watching you videos from the US. My grandparents were immigrants from England and it's inspired me to visit. You do a phenomenal job of showing incredible places to visit in the UK and describing the history. If you don't do tours you should.

[@MemorySeekers]

Thank you so much, so glad you liked it. Welcome to the channel. I am not sure I would be a very good tour guide, trying to remember all the facts! Its one thing to write down to do the voiceovers but all the little details for different places I think I would get lost! haha 😊

[@doyeworrell1680]

Thank you for sharing this adventure, I appreciate the details, dates and background you provided, it makes me feel as if I’m right along side you. Even though it was raining you still managed to capture the beautiful garden. Great job 👏

[@ขวัญขวัญG2]

!!!!!!!

[@liars4dance]

The video is really nicely done - but you have made a key error at 11:37 in assuming that the new library is the office of the 13th Earl of Carlisle. The last Earl to live at Castle Howard was George Howard, the 9th Earl, who died in 1911. In his will, he split the estate and his heir, the 10th Earl received Naworth Castle in Cumbria. Since then, Naworth has been the country seat of the Earls of Carlisle, not Castle Howard. The new library is the office of the Honorable Nicholas Howard, the current owner and great grandson of the 9th Earl.

[@MemorySeekers]

Thank you for the correction.

[@catherinelee3298]

What an absolutely beautiful place on earth. ❤

[@lynn9496]

Wow It is grand! I spent 9 weeks in UK last summer. But I missed this place. I stayed 3 nights in York but I didn't have a information. Thank you for the Video. Your other videos of Winchester and Cotswold helped my trip a lot. And thank you for Korean subtitles

[@MemorySeekers]

So glad you have found them helpful 😊

I got to visit there in 1986. I was more grand than can be imagined. Great memory, video. Thank you.

Very interesting and visually stunning tour of the estate! I actually loved seeing the garden in the rain but I image it was a bit of a pain to shoot it, so extra thanks for doing so! Really looking forward to the Whitby video, looks to be something extra special!

[@MemorySeekers]

Yes it was horrible at times to try and film but at least we got something to share. Whitby was much better!

[@marshabrubaker185]

I love your tours of ancient & historic homes, castles and beautifully landscaped gardens. This was so enjoyable. I've never been through an ancient castle but did spend two days touring Hearst Castle in San Simeon, California. Beautiful, but no comparison.

[@milasmith955]

Красивые , великолепной архитектуры здание, внутренний дизайн здания просто восхищает… задаюсь вопросом, откуда такие богатства у людей взялись что бы строить такие дворцы , особенно в начале 15-16 веков??? Если поднять архивы и почитать историю возникновения богатств , тогда всё становится понятно… а что изменилось сейчас в 21- ом веке??? Ничего, все продолжается … thanks for this video 🙏🙏🙏

[@homerwiggins3965]

Stunning! The Howard family is my ancestors and was interesting to see the castle. Thank you for outstanding videos every time!

[@MemorySeekers]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@kathyastrom1315]

My mom and I were there ten years ago. We only had a few hours available, so we just toured the house and walked around the gardens directly next to the building, but it was very impressive. (I will admit that my favorite manor house on that trip was actually Dunrobin Castle north of Inverness-it is not quite as imposing as Castle Howard and more charming as a result.)

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

My favourite has always been Stokesay at the evocatively named Craven Arms out on the Welsh Borders. But then I'm just a peasant and that is very much more on my scale. 🙄😉

[@andrewthornhill7042]

Did you go up to the Temple of the Four Winds? There are marvellous views from there over the estate.

I highly recommend stopping by Rievaulx Abbey not too far from Castle Howard. It was my favorite spot on my trip ten years ago. So quiet and peaceful, and the ruins are just stunning.

Thank you, it’s been a delight revisiting this “enchanted palace” again, albeit in virtual mode from far away Australia. My first visit was 45 years ago, way before the Brideshead phenomenon and I don’t think there was even a gift shop or cafe then, thrilled to see how “loved” it still is.

When we traveled to the British Open in St. Andrews in 2010, we toured Castle Howard. That jaw-dropping view of the great hall and the view of the fountain in the distance was really something! A very beautiful estate. They were setting up fireworks for a party of some sort that was being held on the grounds later that day.
