Argory

Reviewed By samanthap560 - Belfast, United Kingdom

We visited The Argory after it was the first Northern Ireland property to reopened following the relaxing of the "lock-down". I was surprised to be able to book tickets online for the five of us as I expected demand to be high. (The only way at the moment to visit National Trust properties is to have tickets which are booked online.) We were courteously greeted by all staff. The number of visitors to the house at any one time is limited and you need to book a slot at the reception. There is hand sanitizer at the reception and at the entry and exit of the house. Only the downstairs of the house was open. We were provided with a laminated information sheet as it is a self guided tour although there are people there if you have any questions. The cafe and toilets were opened but we didn't use these. There is a one way system in force and on the whole most people adhered to it. The grounds were beautiful - still well kept and full of colour and fragrance. We enjoyed a relaxing walk by the beautiful river Blackwater. We felt comfortable with the safety arrangements that they have in place and would recommend to others but remember to book online first!

A bit out of the way, this was a great historic place to stop and see as well admire the priory and the countryside.

Castlecaulfield

Reviewed By Matsudana - Welwyn, United Kingdom

The village is in a quiet backwater but it's worth searching for the ruined 3-storey castle which still has its arched entrance way and guard rooms intact. Yes, the castle does have an air of melancholy, heightened on our visit by the drizzle and the jackdaws crowing and swooping down onto the high walls. It is very thought provoking! By the way,full marks to the village community in winning the village in bloom competition in recent years.

Enjoyed pottering round here went in an old pub called Tomneys bar lots of different rooms inside and out all individual I was told it had been in the same family for about 300 years and there's a court yard attached that has small antique shops worth a visit.
