    It's a magnificent experience walking in Pretty Wood, which is very appropriately named - it's very pretty here!



    On your way, you will pass the ancient tree, King's Oak, which is thought to be over 400 years old. Further into the forest, you will come upon the Four Faces monument from the 18th century. And outside of these, it's a beautiful forest to be in.

      Beautiful woodland walks with stunning views of Castle Howard and unique architectural features like the pyramid on St. Anne's Hill and the Four Faces monument. The wood also features a variety of flora, including rhododendrons, and the King Oak, which has a fascinating information board.
