Castle Ward
The 820 acre walled demesne at Castle Ward enjoys one of the finest settings in Western Europe, overlooking Strangford Lough and the Irish Sea. The Georgian House is one of the architectural wonders of its time, being built from basement to rooftop in two distinct architectural styles - Palladian Classical on the west and Gothic on the east. To enable visitors to enjoy the demesne, the National Trust has created a holiday home. The scenic village of Strangford, complete with ferry, jetty and small harbour, is just two miles away. Events suitable for all ages and interests are held at Castle Ward throughout the year.
