This stunning mansion, set in beautifully restored gardens gives you a chance to step into the past. Originally founded by a family who may have made their fortune in the slave trade and then gradually falling into disrepair as agricultural and mining income fell and economic depression and death duties after the Second World War minimised the family’s ability to invest in it; this house brilliantly reflects changing times in Britain’s history.

Book a free self-led visit to Pickering Castle and organise your day to suit your curriculum objectives. Immerse your class in the Norman world as they enter the site through the once well defended gatehouse. They can cross the bailey –the service area for the castle, and then enter the inner ward to ascend the motte to where the keep once stood. There is a fully reconstructed chapel for you to explore before descending into the ditch around the motte, which gives first-hand experience of the scale of the place. Can your class find the ovens and identify latrine chutes as they look around?
