While readers may be sad to find out that Clyvedon Castle, The Duke of Hasting's estate, is fictional, Castle Howard, where it was filmed, is just as grand.
Based in the heart of Yorkshire, this stunning house and gardens is a work of art, its construction having spanned the lifetime of three different Earls. Whilst it remains a private home, it is open to the public with a number of different guided tours around the house and grounds.
It has also been used as a filming location for other films and series, most famously as the setting of "Brideshead Revisited", both in the 1981 and 2008 versions. In the 1970s, it featured in Stanley Kubrick's film "Barry Lyndon", and more recently has provided the location for shows including ITV's "Victoria" and BBC's "Death Comes to Pemberley". It also served as the backdrop to the Arctic Monkeys video for their single, "Four Out Of Five".
