The route proceeds through Howardian Hills and the previous Castle Howard estate village of Bulmer, ultimately getting you to Castle Howard.

Excellent Yorkshire tour! - Amazing tour, our guide was excellent and would adjust the trip for us as needed. He gave us a lot of background and historical information and was very knowledgeable having lived his life in the Yorkshire area. Highly recommend!
