ST PADDYS GRAVE + Direwolves | St Patrick Northern Ireland | GOT Vlog
Northern Ireland magic - the Game Of Thrones Direwolves and St Patricks grave in one day! GOT & St Pats in 1 Vlog is like...⬇ Click 'Show More' ✈ Learn to travel full-time:
This is our last day in Northern Ireland and in this vlog we got the chance to check out some awesome Game of Thrones sites and also meet the actual Direwolves from GOT. They're dogs known as Thor and Odor in real life but on the Game of Thrones show they were small wolves that grew in to being bad azz wolf dudes.
We also explored deeper into Northern Ireland and went to the grave site of St Patrick, aka St Paddy or St Pats or St Patty - everyone knows of him for various different reasons. In a town called Downpatrick is the grave of St Patrick and we had the chance to travel there and film for this vlog.
It really does feel like Northern Ireland is the home of Game Of Thrones, even more so than Croatia and their GOT claim to fame. Especially with the chance to meet the wolf / wolves of GOT it definitely made this day in particular a little more special. Even if you don't know the direwolves or never seen Game of Thrones, Ireland and Northern Ireland have so much more going on that you really should make it fit your travel plans.

Castle ward-Game of Thrones
Castle Ward HD
Feature video for National Trust of Castle Ward. No tripods or flash could be used in the interior plus shooting very wide angles so a lot of work in editing the photos to get rid of the fisheye effect and color cast etc etc. I would like to thank the staff for a fantastic day and for all the great info and personal tour. Castle Ward has been the home of the Ward family since 1570. Originally known as Carrick na Sheannagh and owned by the Earls of Kildare, it was bought by Bernard Ward, father of Sir Robert Ward, Surveyor-General of Ireland. The 850 acre walled demesne also dates from the 16th century. The Ward family built a succession of homes in their estate; Old Castle Ward, built around 1590 near to Strangford Lough, still survives, but a mansion built around 1720 by Judge Michael Ward was demolished around 1850, although some of the associated landscaping remains.[4]
The architect of the current building, built in the early 1760s for Michael Ward's son Bernard Ward, 1st Viscount Bangor is unknown, although he may have come from the Bristol area, with which the Ward family had close ties. It may have been James Bridges who practiced in Bristol between 1757 and 1763 and whose work there has some similarity to Castle Ward.[3]
The property passed under a settlement made in 1748 to Bernard Ward's eldest son, Nicholas, who was clearly insane. When his younger brother, Edward, died in 1812 leaving a young son, the youngest brother Robert took the opportunity to move the insane Nicholas into a smaller house in Downpatrick and strip Castle Ward of everything valuable. The house stood empty until the death of Nicholas in 1827, when it was inherited by Edward's son, now the 3rd Viscount. He and his descendants carried out the process of restoring the building and its furnishings, but on the death of the 6th Viscount in 1950 the house and estate were made over in lieu of death duties to the Government of Northern Ireland, who presented the house and its gardens to the National Trust in 1952.[4][5]
On 10 February 1973, Leonard O'Hanlon (age 23) and Vivienne Fitzsimmons (age 17), both members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army, were killed in a premature bomb explosion in the grounds of Castle Ward estate.
There are open days for tours, its a fantastic place to visit, especially on a day like we had, couldn't have asked for better weather. For more info check out nationaltrust.org.uk/castle-ward

Angus Rock, Strangford
The Angus Rock is situated mid channel at the entrance to Strangford Lough, Northern Ireland.
The Angus Rock Tower was built in the late 1800s with the expectation that a light for the navigation of commercial shipping would be added.
Both Portaferry and Belfast were commercial shipping ports, but with no political will for a light to be fitted, commercial shipping declined within Strangford Lough.
Finally in 1983, a red light flashing once every 5 seconds was installed, making Strangford Lough a safe haven for yachts.
Strangford Lough is the most important sea inlet in the British Isles, abundant with diverse sea life above and below the water.

FLIGHT INFO
The previous weekend, flights had been scuppered by thick sea fog, which thankfully stayed away (mostly) for this flight around the Angus Rock in Strangford Lough. It's always more fun flying with a friend.
