Winter at Castle Coole

The estate is open daily between 10am and 4pm during the winter period and closed Christmas day. Come for a quiet stroll to escape from the hustle and bustle of the festive season.

Winter Walks

Castle Coole during winter is a peaceful escape from the town nearby. Take a winter walk around the Lake, with views across Lough Coole. Keep an eye out for our resident swans!
