Castle Ward in County Down, Northern Ireland. With its dells and wooded eminences, and its entrancing view over Strangford Lough, Castle Ward is said to be the most beautifully situated house in Ulster. The castle was built in 1770 at a cost of £40,000 by Bernard Ward and his wife, Anne. It was acquired by the Government of Northern Ireland in 1950 and presented to the National Trust. The illustration comes from “The National Trust Guide: Revised Edition” (Jonathan Cape, 550 pp., maps and index. $21.35). This book, first published in 1973, has become the standard reference work on the holdings of the biggest landowner in Britain, the National Trust.
