About this audio guide
This guide to Castle Howard, near York, stands you beside the Atlas Fountain, the Victorian centrepiece of the South Parterre, carved by John Thomas for the seventh Earl of Carlisle. It follows the water rather than the family: where it comes from, what lies hidden in Ray Wood, and the village stream and steam engine that started it all. Best heard at the rim of the pond, with the jets running.
