Castle Coole
.................................................................................................................................................
Located on the edge of Enniskillen, Castle Coole is one of the treasures of
the National Trust. Designed by James Wyatt and completed in 1798 for the
first Earl of Belmore, Castle Coole’s interior was created by some of the
leading craftsmen of the 18th Century. Marble chimney-pieces were carved
by Westmacott, plasterwork created by Joseph Rose and scagioli columns
the work of Bartoli. Magnificent State Rooms with their sumptuous Regency
furnishings, include The State Bedroom prepared for a visit by George IV in
1821.
The surrounding 700 acre estate is a fitting setting for the mansion with
parkland, Lough Coole and extensive woods. Visitors can also enjoy walks
through The Grand Yard, Ice House, Servant’s Tunnel and view the original
Belmore Coach. Check with property regarding events, music and recitals.
