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.
