The beauty\, vigour and perfect shape of the trees in the National Arboretum attract tree enthusiasts from around the world. However \, Castlewellan has numerous features that draw wider attention. The garde n is a mixture of informal and formal design with terraces\, fountains\, o rnamental gates and flower borders. To walk around the forest park's mile- long lake\, encountering some intriguing modern sculptures on the way\, is to enjoy a great experience of eighteenth-century landscaping.\n\nThe pla nting of the walled Annesley garden\, the focus of the arboretum\, was beg un in the 1850s and rare conifers and maples were later imported directly from Japan. Then came the addition of more rich varieties\, including Chil ean eucryphias\, Australian athrotaxis and pittosporum and Chinese rhodode ndrons. The arboretum holds many trees with record heights in the British Isles.\n\nOne of Northern Ireland's most famous lakes\, a stunning Victori an Castle\, incredible panoramic views\, scenic walking trails\, 27km of M ountain Bike Trails\, Nature Play perfect for the kids\, an onsite multi-a ctivity centre\, hedge maze and equestrian centre\, Castlewellan Forest Pa rk boasts all of this and more making it a must-visit for all ages.\nSunda y 26th June 2022 –  Tollymore Score and Junior Activity\nOn the Sunday morning there will be a 60 minute Score Course set out in Tollymore forest .\n\n25 controls will be set out ranging from 10 points up to 40 points.
