A lasting legacy for Castle Howard

For generations, Castle Howard has inspired visitors with its beauty, history and enduring spirit. By leaving a gift in your Will, you can help ensure that future generations experience the same wonder for centuries to come.

The Castle Howard Foundation is focused on the restoration and preservation of Castle Howard’s built heritage, on safeguarding its natural environment, and on promoting public access to this culturally and historically significant place.   

Our vision is that Castle Howard and its estate continue as a living cultural landmark where history, art, nature, and community thrive for present and future generations. 

The stories, architecture, landscapes, collections, and memories that make Castle Howard so special today will endure because of the generosity of people who care deeply about its future. 

A legacy gift, no matter the size, will become part of the ongoing story of this place like no other. 

Supporters become custodians of: 

• Historic architecture and interiors 
• Gardens and landscapes 
• The House’s collection 
• Restoration and conservation projects 
• Educational programmes 
• Public access initiatives 
• Nature restoration and environmental protection
