Castlewellan Forest Park is located in Castlewellan, Northern Ireland. It contains the national Arboretum of Northern Ireland, started in 1740, which contains trees from Asia, North and South America, and Australasia. Giant sequoia were planted in the 1850s. They are used by treecreepers, who burrow into its bark and make nests.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Woodlands - Castlewellan Arboretum )〕 The gardens were reopened in 2013 after undergoing maintenance.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Castlewellan Forest Park )〕 The peace maze located in the park was constructed between 2000 and 2001. It contains 6000 hew trees planted by volunteers from Northern Ireland.〔 It was the longest permanent hedge maze in the world until July 2007, when the Pineapple Garden Maze in Wahiawa, Hawaii was extended.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Largest maze, permanent hedge maze )〕 The Castlewellan Gold Leyland cypress was developed in the park from a mutant tree. It was selected by the park director, John Keown, and named ''Cupressus macrocarpa'' 'Keownii' in 1963. The original specimen is located in the ornamental gardens. Castwellan Castle is a Scottish baronial castle built by the Annesley family between 1856 and 1858. It is close to the entrance of the arboretum and overlooks Castlewellan Lake. The castle is now used as a Christian conference centre.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Welcome to Castlewellan Castle )〕 File:The castle in Castlewellan forest park.jpg|Castlewellan Castle File:Gateway at Castlewellan Arboretum - geograph.org.uk - 35314.jpg|Gateway at Castlewellan Arboretum ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Castlewellan Forest Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
