Description

Embrace your inner explorer when you discover the world at Castle Ward!

Strolling through this 820-acre walled demesne takes you along trails that wind their way through atmospheric woodland (famous for its spring bluebell displays), parkland and gardens, offering impressive views over Strangford Lough and the surrounding countryside. The quirky 18th century house, designed as a combination of two completely different styles: gothic on one facade and Palladian on the other and farmyard that doubled up as Game of Thrones’ Winterfell add to the charm of the grounds. The Easter trail celebrates the arrival of spring with nods to the new birds visiting the shore and the arrival of cheery spring blooms.

Normal admission plus £3 per trail, includes a chocolate or vegan and free from Rainforest Alliance Easter egg.

Take a tour around the Mansion House or visit the Cornmill and clocktower in the farmyard.
