Castle Howard Lakeside Holiday Park: Countryside Luxury Beside the Great Lake

Few places in North Yorkshire combine heritage, scenery, and tranquillity quite like Castle Howard Lakeside Holiday Park. Nestled within the grounds of the world-famous Castle Howard Estate, this park offers holiday home ownership that’s as peaceful as it is prestigious.


At Ideal Caravans, we’re proud to showcase Castle Howard Lakeside Holiday Park as one of our most distinctive partner destinations, perfect for anyone dreaming of a second home surrounded by nature, history, and timeless Yorkshire countryside.

Escape to the Howardian Hills
