    Welcome to Egypt!... Ok, not quite, but it's a very unusual sight to be sure in the middle of North Yorkshire!

    One of the many wonders and oddities in the Castle Howard grounds, this one was built in 1728, and it is surrounded by four pairs of piers. Easy to walk up to and admire from up close!
