Castlewellan Forest Park, in County Down, surrounds the historic Annesley Garden and Arboretum — a walled garden and tree collection rated among the finest in the British Isles. Its standout redwood is an extraordinary multi-stemmed giant sequoia in the walled garden, with around 19 trunks rising from one root system, crowned Northern Ireland Tree of the Year in 2018. Walkers and cyclists enter the park free; cars pay a daily charge or council permit.
