Keep going, with the pointy Pyramid on St Anne’s Hill ahead. Then when you reach the rugged trail on the left, go up it. This is the trail you got here on. Turn left here The woods and the final stretch of the Castle Howard circular walk

With three bedrooms and well sized living accommodation, this home offers the chance to enjoy lots of family space without breaking the bank. Setting out from the roadside car park, you will make your way east along the road for a short distance, before turning to the southeast along the shores of the Great Lake. Skirting around the edge of a large wood, you will continue on to the south and take in the stunning views of the Castle Howard grounds, eventually looping around to the southeast. And these are the men to whom we give the vote," observed Mr Wilcox, omitting to add that they were also the men to whom he gave work as clerks - work that scarcely encouraged them to grow into other men. "However, they have their own lives and interests. Let's get on." ( Howards End, pp. 190-91)Along here, you will be walking surrounded by fields, with a view to the Pyramid on St Anne’s Hill over to the left. Then further along, you will get your first view towards Castle Howard, and if you timed the walk for summer, you might see all the red poppies as well. The woods 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?

Margaret is extremely conscious of the privileged position of herself and her family. They stand, she reminds Tibby and Helen, on 'the golden island', and she despairs of those 'rich people who pretend to be poor' ( Howards End, p. 63). In contrast to Henry Wilcox's deliberate disengagement with the social conditions of the poor, the Schlegels care 'deeply about politics'. For Margaret, 'to do good to one... or a few, was the utmost she dare hope for' ( Howards End, p. 134). Through their encounter with Leonard, the Schlegels gain 'a glimpse into squalor', 'a goblin footfall, as a hint that not all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds... beneath these superstructures of wealth and art', and 'the lowest abyss' as 'not absence of love, but the absence of coin' ( Howards End, p. 63). With their wealth, Margaret believes, comes responsibility. The trailhead for the Castle Howard Walk can be found at the roadside car park located just to the west of the Castle Howard Lakeside Holiday Park. Route Information Before you go that way though, you can go and see the Pyramid. It’s free to visit. I didn’t go and look, but over there you will find a large bust of Lord William Howard. The long road and bridge Past the farm house, you will now be walking with a view to the Temple of the Four Winds in the distance to your right, and soon, the Castle Howard Mausoleum. This is done to preserve the anonymity of the people in that area, as some postcodes cover a very small area, sometimes a single building.Henry Wilcox advocates a disinterested involvement in the lives of a number of working-class clerks: 'we live and let live, and assume that things are jogging on fairly well elsewhere, and that the ordinary plain man may be trusted to look after his own affairs' ( Howards End, p. 152). He challenges Margaret's liberal middle-class perspective on the life of Leonard's working-class existence as being out of touch: it might be 'full of high purpose, full of beauty, full even of sympathy and the love of men' but it will 'somehow elude all that was actual and insistent in Leonard's life', as it is 'the voice of one who had never been hungry or dirty, and had not guessed successfully what dirt and hunger are' ( Howards End, pp. 51-52). He asks Margaret, 'What do you know of London? You only see civilisation from the outside'. Margaret admits 'the strength of his position', but feels that 'it undermine[s] imagination' ( Howards End, p. 153). Henry Wilcox believes that all men have their place in the world, and in the importance of supporting the structure of society; he believes that one should keep to one's own 'type'. By contrast, Margaret values the imagination as a means of transcending class differences; but her interest in crossing boundaries dwindles when she finds love within her own social class. These three walks are just a taste of the many Howardian Hills walks available in this enchanting region.

The Temple part was only something en route to the main star of the walk. You can read about it here. Then Margaret spoke rather seriously. 'I think,' she said, that our race is degenerating. We cannot even settle this little thing; what will it be like when we have to settle a big one?' ( Howards End, p. 165)
