Castlewellan forest park has been earmarked for a potential landmark development by Newry Mourne and Down District Council (NMDDC).
The Co Down woodlands and lake, which features some of the most outstanding tree and shrub collections in Europe, attracts thousands of visitors each year.
The famous Annesley garden created in 1850 with rare horticultural species could now be complemented with the district’s first ever community social farm.
