Take a look behind the scenes at Castle Ward, a distinctive National Trust place in Northern Ireland

Castle Ward is a house with two faces - one side Classical and the other side Gothick, So what's the reason for this strange arrangement? In this video we reveal new research which shows it wasn't a mistake or a disagreement, but a careful plan by Bernard Ward and his wife Lady Anne to send a coded message to those in-the-know. We also explore the opulent rooms, reveal a secret doorway, unlock a sealed cabinet and open up rooms which have been closed for years. You can explore more behind the scenes videos here tiny.cc/vrbrsz or visit Castle Ward for yourself www.nationaltrust.org.uk/cast...
We protect and care for places so people and nature can thrive. Everyone can get involved, everyone can make a difference. Nature, beauty, history. For everyone, for ever.
