Brideshead / Castle Howard photo medley Part 2

A few more of the photos I took when visiting Castle Howard.

This is the Temple of the Four Winds, commanding superb views across the hills. The temple was originally used as a place for refreshment and reading, beneath it is a cellar where servants prepared the food they served to the family above [info from Castle Howard website].

This is the place I wanted to see the most as it is the backdrop for some favourite scenes of Sebastian and Charles' idyllic summer.

And it didn't disappoint, such a beautiful folly, with a grassy path lined with statues making for a glorious approach from the house.

More to come including close ups of the temple and of Matthew drinking wine 😆.

I found THE hedge!

I visited Castle Howard at last, Brideshead in the book, film and series. It was an amazing experience because I adore the film (and novel).

I saw many of the locations where Matthew Goode, Ben Whishaw, Hayley Atwell and Emma Thompson once stood and it was utterly magical.

And I think managed to locate the hedge where Julia discovers Charles and Sebastian, naked after their swim in the Atlas fountain, observing the arrival of Lady Marchmain.

@pleasereadmeok suggested I should mark this iconic Goode spot with a blue plaque so here we are 😆.

I took 100s of photos of the house and grounds so might post a few more at some point.

Here is the link to the GIFs of the fountain swim and hedge scene which I posted last year as part of my Brideshead Revisited rewatch:

Castle Howard is located in North Yorkshire, in the walled city of York in England. The 3rd Earl of Carlisle began building the Baroque castle in 1699, but it took a hundred years to complete. After Carlisle’s passing in 1738, the house was completed by son-in-law, Sir Thomas Robinson. Robinson added the fourth wing, which was designed in a conservative Palladian style, so instead of two identical wings, the castle has two mismatched wings. The castle suffered a devastating fire in 1940, which caused considerable damage, with nearly one-third of the structure lost, including the dome. Restoration efforts were achieved due to George Howard and Lady Cecilia. A hundred years ago, the castle had 140 rooms and twelve staircases, but due to the fire, the interior spaces were altered. Unfortunately, there is still a great deal of repair work to do. Castle Howard has three main levels with a cellar space in one wing and attic space in the central section. The pre-Raphaelite decorated chapel is part of the west wing of the house. The castle sits on nearly 9,000 acres in the Howardian Hills. Six thousand acres are farmland, and the property is tenanted with five fully equipped farms and 15 bare land agreements. The property boasts woodlands, temples, lakes, a walled garden, a stable block, and the Atlas Fountain. Castle Howard has served as the private home of the Howard family for more than 300 years. The estate has a house gift shop, a carriage shop, a farm shop, a garden center, a tree nursery, three cafés, and a coffee shop.
