After finishing the pilot questionnaire, at late saturday afternoon, we visited Castle Howard.
It's an 300 years old house and estate, one of the most magnificent place in the York area.
Castle Howard covers 10.000 acres within the Howardian Hills, a designed area of outstanding natural beauty.
As well as being a visitor attraction the castle is also an working place, including farming, forestry, property, retail and holiday park.
More than 100 permanent and 150 seasonal members of staff employed there.
After visiting Castle Howard we drove to Witby for dinner in the most famous fish & chips restaurant.
It's many years ago that I saw people standing in line, waiting to get in a restaurant more than one hour!
