Ardress House

Autumn at Ardress House is a very special time of the year. The surrounding orchards are ready for harvesting and the lawns are blanketed in lilac crocuses. Marvel at the splendor of the Armagh Bramley in the heart of the orchard county.

When people think of the National Trust they often picture palatial houses and grand estates, but the reality is that as a conservation charity we look after a rich variety of places and spaces, from coast to countryside, to traditional cottages and ancient monuments. A case in point is Frizzell’s Cottage.

The Lady’s Mile is a circular walk bordering part of the 100 acre estate of Ardress. It was planted in the 1800’s by the Ensor family and while oak predominates, ash, beech, lime, horse chestnut, sycamore and Scot’s pine trees are also present.
