Waringstown House was built in 1667 for William Waring, a Cromwellian general. Originally two storeys, the third was added later. Now restored, but almost entirely hidden from public view by trees, it is reputedly one of the oldest Ulster houses still inhabited. Killyleagh Castle Image is older but remodelled in the 19th century. The magic of Geograph Image allows you to travel back in time.
