Castlewellan is a village in County Down, Northern Ireland. Castlewellan was also the seat of the Earls Annesley with Castlewellan Castle, a Scottish Baronial castle built 1856-58 and Lady Mabel Annesley's home.

Castlewellan Castle overlooks Castlewellan Lake and is close to the entrance of an arboretum, now part of the Castlewellan Forest Park. The arboretum was established in 1740 and Lady Mabel's father actively secured specimens for the arboretum. The castle is now a Christian conference centre.
