Castle Howard is a stately home in North Yorkshire. It is familiar to television and film audiences as the fictional "Brideshead". Mooch and friends have visited several times for walks around the grounds.
This is Minty Mooch's visit on a nice summer afternoon.

from the main visitor entrance to the Great Lake via the house.
