Bellingham Castle offers a warm welcome, luxurious facilities, and unforgettable memories as an exclusive-hire wedding venue in Co. Louth. Set along the scenic River Glyde, this 17th-century Irish castle is a centrepiece of a 17-acre estate featuring a weir and a man-made river island. Renowned for its opulence, elegance, and privacy, the award-winning venue seamlessly combines historic charm with modern luxury.
