Castle Howard

Statue Gallery in Castle Howard

James Herriots' House

Calling at James's door

Castle Howard is one of the grandest private residences in Britain and we were lucky to walk around (alone) early in the morning gazing at the magnificent rooms and especially the entry hall. This is where Bridgehead Revisited has been filmed (twice: the TV series and the movie) - so you recongnise quit a lot actually. After the castle we went to an other house: that of James Herriot (aka Alfie Wight) to have a look into the real world of a Yorkshire vet, the TV studio's where the series was recorded and some other fun artifacts of the famous writer/vet.
