Episode 219 Special Christmas Video - Take A Trip To An English Country House
This week I have something a little different for you. Last year my family and I went to Castle Howard. This is an English country home in Yorkshire that puts on a special Christmas display every year. They take a story and decorate the house with that theme. Last year the story was JM Barrie's Peter Pan.
I'll show you the dramatic road in to Castle Howard using Google Maps, and then some of the pictures and footage I got last year.
Castle Howard was built between 1701 and 1811 by the Carlisle branch of the Howard family. The gardens were designed by George London in 1699. While you can't see a lot of the normal house behind the decorations, this will definitely give you an idea of the size and luxury of these big English houses.
I visited with my family and my niece, who didn't know anything about Peter Pan. Luckily we were able to go at a quieter time, usually there would be many more people at this place because families come from all over the country for this experience.
As far as I understand Castle Howard still belongs to and is lived in by the Howard family.
