It's situated in a 22-acre parkland site on the former World War II RAF Bomber Command Station at Elvington. It also features award-winning gardens, a large NAAFI-style restaurant and shop, 15 top class exhibitions and more than 60 historic aircrafts and vehicles.

Apart from that, the property contains fine furniture and paintings, family mementoes of the Fitzalan Howard family and a collection of glass walking sticks.

Wharram Percy – a deserted medieval village and one of the most famous and intensively studied among the 3000 or so found in Britain. This site sits on the western edge of the chalk Wolds of North Yorkshire – it's both remote and attractive.
