Castle Ward has been revealed as the most dog-friendly National Trust property in Northern Ireland.
According to a new survey from Petlandia the Co Down property came out on top for National Trust places to bring your four-legged friends.
The study took a list of dog-friendly National Trust properties across Northern Ireland and scored them based on a series of doggy criteria points i.e. off-lead options, dog waste bins, and dog drinking water.
Castle Ward scored 100 out of a possible 100 in the survey by dog owners ticking all the boxes including allowing dogs in the restaurant area and providing dog drinking water.
