Castle Coole
within 5km of the North West Trail
The National Trust property at Castle Coole is one of the finest neo-classical houses in Ireland. Castle Coole was designed by James Wyatt for the 1st Earl of Belmore and completed in 1798. The interior was created by some of the leading craftsmen of the day whilst the state rooms with their sumptuous Regency furnishings include the bedroom prepared for a visit by George IV in 1821 and the elegant hall, where evening concerts are often held. Nearby are the servants' quarters and tunnel, stable yard and ice house.
The surrounding wooded landscape park sloping down to Lough Coole is ideal for long walks.
