Amazing backdrop for a phenomenal evening concert with Van and Co., as well as perfect for a lakeside picnic.

Hard to think of a better place to visit when the weather is nice, lovely grounds and gardens with plenty of choice for walking and two playgrounds for the children to enjoy. Attended the international bread festival yesterday with the family and had a great day all round. Only one suggestion for the really busy days...more refuse bins are needed... More

I highly recommend visiting castle ward! I fell in love with this place as soon as i walked into its grand entrance! You could easily spend a day here there is so much to look at and history to learn about form the items displayed to the architecture of the building! Fantastic

My husband & I thoroughly enjoyed a visit to Castle Ward last weekend. As we have been before we did not tour the actual property on this occasion although I would recommend it highly.

On a sunny day, this place is excellent to take the dog a walk, take in the sun and relax. Far away from Belfast to feel out of the city but close enough to be reachable within an hour.

We loved our experience at Castle Ward! My husband and I enjoyed our guided tour of the home as well as our self-exploration of all the grounds and Old Castle Ward. Everyone working there was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. At the risk of bringing out our nerdy side, we also liked seeing where the Winterfell Courtyard scenes from Game of... More
