Product Information

This was my first walk in the Howardian Hills, so it was quite fitting that I started with the families castle they were named after. For Scotland, 2011 data is shown (update coming soon, the Scottish census was delayed by a year unlike the rest of the UK). That walk itself was still great. The Temple part was only something en route to the main star of the walk. You can read about it here. Keep going, staying on this main road path, to the next lot of farm buildings. You may get to see some horses here.

Fun Fact: Temple of the Four Winds was originally used as a place for refreshments and reading. There is a cellar beneath it, where servants would prepare food for the family above. Following the wall, you will be lead to a gate, and then through a little bit of woodland to reach the next junction. Turn right here Once out in the open, you will get a view to everything. The Pyramid on St Anne’s Hill to your left, the Castle Howard Mausoleum to your right, and Castle Howard ahead. The Howardian Hills is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) located between the Yorkshire Wolds, the North York Moors National Park, and the Vale of York. Named after the Howard family, who still own local lands, this unique area stretches from Helmsley and Coxwold, on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, down to Kirkham Priory and the River Derwent. Landscape and GeologyOnto the living room and another well-proportioned space. Add a cosy corner sofa, bundles of cushions and a snuggly blanket or two to create a great den for the whole family. When I saw the houses, they looked abandoned, so I felt safe for a moment. No one was living here. Which then felt a bit creepy. Make sure to take the left path around the house From where he sat he could see the village of Hilton, strung upon the North Road, with its accreting suburbs; the sunset beyond, scarlet and orange, winking at him beneath brows of grey; the church; the plantations; and behind him an unspoilt country of fields and farms.' ( Howards End, p. 91) After the gathering, they walk home and run into Mr. Wilcox. Still thinking about Leonard Bast, they mention his name. Upon hearing he is employed at a certain company, Mr. Wilcox informs the Schlegels that the company will soon be bankrupt. The Schlegels feel it is their responsibility to tell Leonard, so they invite him for tea. Leonard accepts, and arrives expecting more intellectual conversation. However, when he learns why they have invited him, he is sorely disappointed and leaves in an outrage. Mr. Wilcox and Evie arrive in the middle of his visit and are amused by the situation. The scene also leads Mr. Wilcox to worry about the young ladies fending for themselves while their brother is at Oxford. Idealising the rural, she envisions life in 'these English farms' as a state where one might achieve her vision of the ideal, where the epigraph of the novel, 'Only connect', might finally be fulfilled, and where 'if anywhere, one might see life steadily and see it whole, group in one vision its transitoriness and its eternal youth' ( Howards End, p. 281). It is this vision of the ideal which Margaret believes Leonard might achieve if he can only 'wash out his brain' and get rid of the 'husks of books' ( Howards End, p. 152). Indeed, it is strongly suggested to us in Howards End that Leonard Bast finds his way to something 'real' when he forsakes the existence of the suburban clerk to watch the sun rise over the North Downs. Forster mourns the passing of the 'yeoman' with a nostalgic sigh, 'England's hope', who can 'clumsily... carry forward the torch of the sun, until such time as the nation sees fit to take it up' (p. 338). In this, we can see that he ultimately allies himself with what is natural over what is artificial, and with human nature over the social boundaries which constrain it.

Like many others who have long lived in a great capital, she had strong feelings about the various [London] railway termini. They are out gates to the glorious and the unknown. Through them we pass out into adventure and sunshine, to them, alas! we return. ( Howards End, p. 12) Every time I see a farm, my anxiety level rises a little, ever since that time I was chased by a farm dog. So I proceeded with caution… The farm

Forster's ambivalence is shared by Margaret. She maintains that she is bored by the idea of an Empire, yet she can 'appreciate the heroism that builds it up' ( Howards End, p. 116) . She asserts that a 'nation who can produce men of that sort may well be proud', although the 'results' she confesses are too 'difficult' for her; she wants 'activity without civilisation', the desire to work without the results of the work itself ( Howards End, p. 116). Ultimately, her interest lies not in how the strength of his nation's people might be exploited for the gain of the Empire, but in that strength alone. Tibby Schlegel, by contrast, refuses to engage with social life, and retreats behind a kind of insipid asceticism. Forster tells us that Tibby Schlegel 'was not concerned with much' ( Howards End, p. 261). He is 'a young man is untroubled by passions and sincerely indifferent to public opinion', and as he 'neither wished to strengthen the position of the rich nor to improve that of the poor', he 'was well content to watch the elms nodding behind the mildly embattled parapets of Magdalen' ( Howards End, pp. 261-62). Like the narrator, he is 'not concerned with the very poor', and for him, like Forster's Ruskin, 'the power of Nature could not be shortened by the folly, nor her beauty altogether saddened by the misery, of such as Leonard' (pp. 57-58). Apathetic and uninterested in those less fortunate than himself, he isolates himself from the world by the 'gold island' of the independent income which frees him from the necessity of dealing with the working classes, seeking a escapist detachment in academia. What I’m going to do in this guide, is first give you an overview of what to expect on the Castle Howard circular walk, with full logistics and a map. Then I will go on to describe the route step by step with lots of photos. What to expect on the circular Castle Howard walk Howards End is permeated by a feeling of revulsion towards the unpleasant, gritty realities of urban life, the unsightly decay and squalor of the city. Forster establishes strong contrasts between 'City' and 'Country' early in the novel when he draws the distinction between 'England' and 'Suburbia' as different countries, and when he comments of Margaret Schlegel:

One of the themes of Howards End that emerges strongly from this discussion is the possible futility of art as a medium or means of social change: not only does Leonard Bast find it impossile to penetrate into the assurance and intimacy of the Schlegel sisters' culture, but their view and understanding of him - which remains essentially the view of a reader - is similarly limited. Do you think the novel takes the same position on its own ability to effect social change? Would you regard its attitude as optimistic about the value or potency of art, or pessimistic? This walk takes you on a circular route from Welburn, and over towards Castle Howard, to join the Centenary Way, which is a long distance walking trail. You will walk across pretty countryside fields, and through woodland, passing some wonderful sights along the way.Howards End was written in 1910. In this novel, Forster presents Leonard Bast, a lower-class, poorly-educated London clerk, whom he describes as standing 'at the extreme verge of gentility', with mind and body 'alike underfed, because he was poor'; yet 'because he was modern they were always craving better food' ( Howards End, p. 47). Leonard converses with Margaret and Helen Schlegel, two well-educated, wealthy, middle-class women. They are prevented from forming a meaningful connection, however, by his notions of culture. While he desperately strives towards 'Literature and Art', the Schlegels view him as an unsuccessful imitator: The walk from Welburn to Castle Howard is very easy. There are a few gentle hills, but it’s mostly flat. The majority of the route is along a well maintained path, with a little bit ruggedness through the crop fields, and a touch of woodland dirt trail thrown in.
