Castle Howard is a stately home, and a private residence to the Howard family for over 300 years. The Castle and its amazing historic grounds are open to the public: at a price, of course (there are also yearly memberships). It's a truly stunning, historic place: a quintessential English experience.

By the way, you probably don't need Wikipedia to figure out that the name "Howardian Hills" comes from the Howard family.

Castle Howard has some amazing grounds aswell as a beautiful fountain on its front door. Plenty of hikes around and a nice village at Welburn which is roughly 25 mins walking distance.
