Castlewellan is an Irish castle in County Down. A former Scottish stately home, it was built in 1856 and long owned by a wealthy Scottish earl. Today, the building has been bought out and is not open to visitors…
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!
