Castle Ward is a magical place for a wedding
Notice: Castle Ward will be CLOSED on Monday 14 May 2012. The property will reopen on Tuesday 15 May 2012.
Stunningly unique 18th-century mansion, famed for its mixture of architectural styles
Castle Ward will take you on a journey of discovery. The 18th-century eccentric house with two distinctly different styles, classical and Gothic, will entice you to explore further.
This truly beautiful 332-hectare (820-acre) walled demesne with walking trails, exotic garden, stunning vistas and picturesque farmyard, will unlock your imagination through family history, leisure pursuits, events and industrial heritage.
A children's pastimes centre and laundry are a short walk from the house in the stableyard, alongside a gift shop, second-hand bookshop and tea-room.
Don't miss
- Hire a bicycle and explore the miles of new trails
- Indulge in cream teas in Lord Bangor's sitting room
- Relax in the stableyard with a coffee and a book
- Compare the two architecturally different façades of the house
- Attempt the 'mega slide' in the adventure playground
