Another photograph from my visit to Castle Howard, which has a wonderful collection of sculpture (alongside many other wonderful things). The art on display is also fantastic, and I loved the murals in the Great Hall; of special interest is the story of the firey destruction of a mural by Pellegrini and its eventual re-creation from a single black-and-white photograph by a Canadian artist, Scott Medd.
Not only that, but the house comes fully equipped with three cafes (we tried two; I can recommend the cream teas), a faintly absurd number of shops, and (on the day that we visited) some very damp Morris Dancers.
