The Castlewellan Castle

A private castle…

Castlewellan is ideally located, overlooking the lake and nearby park, and has all the assets of a large estate! Its rather imposing architecture and cylindrical turrets make it a majestic place, with its own cachet and character!

Unfortunately closed to visitors (it is only used for private conferences), you can only admire it from the outside, and catch a glimpse of its magnificent wooded garden! To ease your frustration, take a trip to Castlewellan Forest Park, a protected forest where you can discover a sumptuous organic labyrinth!
