Duncombe Park is a 300-acre (120-hectare) country estate and one of Yorkshire’s finest historic homes. It is the current home of the Duncombe family, or Baron Feversham. The estate sits in a beautiful setting above the meandering River Rye and is noted for its woodland walks and wildlife. It has been designated a National Nature Reserve due to the rare insects and fungi that thrive in the ancient woodlands. The trails in the park itself are open to the public seven days a week, and tickets can be bought from the Birds of Prey Centre for a nominal fee of £1 at the time of writing. The house itself, however, is closed to the public but does host public events such as weddings.

The original Gate House, with its famous pyramid, was built in 1719 by Sir John Vanbrugh, the architect who designed Castle Howard itself. Its flanking wings plus building were built in the 1750s, at which time it was referred to as The New Inn and served people journeying from York to Castle Howard and the Vale of Pickering. By the 1850s, the Gate House had become an inn and an hotel. By the late 19th century, it was developed into The Temperance Hotel, where the ninth Countess of Carlisle would accommodate women and children from the industrial belt of the North to help them to escape "urban drudgery".

The Yorkshire Arboretum at Castle Howard is 120 acres of wonderful managed woodland. They have a local population of red squirrels, which you're very likely to see. There is also a nice café here, making it a great stop on a ride. If you arrive by bike, you get a 50% reduction on the entry price.

Building began at Castle Howard between 1699 and 1701, but construction was still going on when the architect John Vanbrugh died in 1726. In fact, the house still wasn’t complete when the Earl died in 1738. His son in law took over the build with different architectural style and it was eventually completed in 1801. The garden was also landscaped over these years. A great fire broke out in 1940 destroying the dome and many rooms. It's been a restoration project ever since, with the dome replaced in the early 1960's and the garden hall rebuilt in 1981. Today it's open to the paying public who can visit and tour the house and gardens. There are footpaths through the estate so you can also walk through for free and view the buildings and gardens.

Crayke is a small village with a great vantage point over the Vale Of York. Climbing up here beings great views to the south and it a little taster of the Howardian Hills to the north and east. Crake has its own castle which is a grade I listed building. It is privately owned and on the site of a Norman Motte and Bailey Castle. It is believed there has been a fortress on this high position since the Roman times. Crayke Castle is not the only interesting building though, this small village has 28 grade II listed buildings. The local pub, the Durham Ox is 300 years old and is beautiful inside with flagstone floors and ornately carved oak panelling.
