Spread across Northern Ireland are some of the British Isles' most spectacular historic houses and glorious gardens.
And keeping a watchful eye on these 63 places covering 120sq kms of countryside and 200kms of outstanding coastline is the
National Trust in Northern Ireland - an organisation dedicated to preserving our grand history and delicate environment.
From Templepatrick's
Patterson's Spade Mill (L-2), where 200 spades are tailor-made each year, to the debonnaire costume museum at
Springhill House (K-3) near Moneymore, each National Trust property reveals a new story on every visit.

Divis Mountain,
The Crown Bar and

Florence Court in Co. Fermanagh

Castle Ward near Strangford, Co. Down

Crom Estate (J-4) and
Rathlin Island's Manor House (K-1). Romantic weekends and celebratory get-togethers deserve nothing less...
