Photo Of The Day: A Long Stone Passage

Castle Howard in Yorkshire on the eastern side of England is one of the most beautiful castles that I have ever visited. I have actively sought out castles in every European country that I have ever travelled through, so the opinion regarding beauty is not given lightly. Some places that I have visited have been stunning in their architectural starkness or their placement in the countryside. But Castle Howard is stunning in its opulence and it also sits within an area of Yorkshire that varies from gently rolling to ruggedly beautiful.

This long stone passage pictured below is just one of many on the first floor — and yes — sounds echo quite assertively up and down that corridor. We visited during the winter months this year and I did wonder what the heating costs must be for this massive place!
