A House in a Garden
Throughout the summer in a series of special outside broadcasts, Gloria and Alan Titchmarsh set out on a voyage of discovery around Great
Britain, visiting some of the best-loved castles and stately homes, talking to the people who live and work in this charmed environment.
While Gloria explores the great rooms, secret passages and history of the houses, Alan wanders through their gardens and parks describing their horticultural beauty and design. The first of the visits comes from Castle Howard,
Yorkshire, home to the Howard family since it was built in the 17th century. Its splendid architecture and magnificent grounds truly make it 'a house in a garden'.
