The National Trust in Ulster
A quirky tour of Trust properties, from international landmarks such as the Giant's Causeway, to lesser known gems like Springhill House.
The centrepiece of this travelogue is a grand tour of Northern Ireland's great houses. From the modesty of the 17th century, note the thatch-roofed Hezlett House, or plantation era features of Springhill, through to the ornate, late-18th and early-19th century neoclassical style of Mount Stewart and Castle Coole.
Architecture buffs will perhaps find the clash of styles represented by Castle Ward particularly intriguing. The building's identity crisis is a manifestation of its owners' - Lord Bangor and his wife, Lady Ann Bligh - contrasting tastes. The result is a building that is part classical Palladian, part Georgian Gothic. This material from the E.T. Green collection is courtesy of Waddell Media Ltd.
