Located 3.8 miles from the centre of Welburn lies one of Englands finest historic houses, Castle Howard.
The house with its 1,000 acre grounds was designed by Sir John Vanbrugh for the 3rd Earl of Carlisle 300 years ago.
Today it is a visitor site attracting families and dog-walkers.
It is also used to hold wedding receptions and formal events.
The profits made that are generated from tourists and visitors help towards the restoration and conservation of 200 listed monuments and buildings that surround the estate.

Within these large grounds other amusements have been built to generate money, such as a local farm shop with butchers selling a selection of meat sourced locally from the Castle Howard estate.
There is also a coffee shop, courtyard café, bookshop, carriage house shop and a garden centre all selling local produce and items.
