I took my family on a tour of Government house and gardens.It was very well organised and we viewed some outfits worn by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. The house was beautiful and well maintained as were the magnificient gardens. The only blot on the landscape was the condition of the toilet block in the garden, an upgrade needed.

We live locally and the park is excellent for a short stroll or a good workout walk. All the paths are very well maintained with the only downside being the multitude of dog walkers with their dogs off their leads. The Fort is good for kids. You can also walk from the park into the village centre for a coffee or more.

Hillsborough Castle and GardensIf you like castles or old homes, this is a beautiful 1770 building formerly belonging to the Governor of Northern Ireland. The queen stays here when in Northern Ireland. Gorgeous grounds and a quaint village and shops. The park dam or fort is a beautiful place to stroll.

Our visit was organised by our classic car club and we had a great tour of the castle, it's history was interesting if you are into it, I was interested to a point, but the rooms and furniture are exquisite. Time cut us short so we were unable to appreciate the gardens but will return to do them again. I would return for another visit and hope we have lovely weather to be able to enjoy the gardens and lake

Recently transferred to the Historic Royal Palaces, there is a lot of history in this stately home. It's always great to visit a place that is also a living breathing residence. If in the area well worth checking out.

I visited Hillsborough Castle last Sunday with my family. Our guide was a charming lady called Judy. Judy was very welcoming & quickly realised that my Mum has hearing problems & without drawing attention to the fact she moved beside my Mum & encouraged us to sit on available seats (except HM's throne of course). In addition to the castle tour some of the Queen's outfits were on display.We were fortunate to have a sunny day to stroll around the Castle's gardens & they are beautifully laid out. We were made to feel like invited guests on the tour unlike some of the National Trust properties (speaking as a former member). The NT really need to send their guides to see how it should be done!

Had a great visit to this beautiful property during the time that some of the Queen's outfits were on display. The gardens are an absolute joy and the house itself most interesting. Lovely Tour Guide gave us a most enlightening tour in a very relaxed and non rushed way. After one and a half hours it felt like five minutes and it was a shame to find it was all over. Definitely recommend this place situated in the beautiful village of Hillsborough where you will find a selection of superb places to eat before or after your visit. Enjoy!

With my inlaws visiting from England we wanted to have a family day out. My husband suggested the castle, I am embarrassed to say I had never been before - very much my loss. We were lucky enough to be the only people on our tour. We were welcomed by Charles - an absolute delight. He was so welcoming and took time to fuss over our two year old. The house was stunning but be far the star if the show were the gardens. A really hidden gem. My inlaws are NT members so have visited many houses & gardens but even they had to admit these were something special. Add to that the knowledge that this house is not a mothballed house remembering its glory days but a house that emnates modern history from every brick. The photographs are beautiful and you can't help but think about the conversations that must have echoed round the walls. Even if that doesn't interest you, you can not help but be amazed by the beauty of the gardens. Go lose yourself for a few hours you won't regret it.

go to the Hillsborough Castle museum. It isn't a big place but for locals its a must to read about the local area, the local court procedures, they have a fully set out Victorian court room which was used up until 1970's

We had a great tour guide with lots of knowledge and a good sense of humour. The castle is beautiful and the gardens which you canWalk through are simply stunning. Inside the castle you are shown around many rooms and told the stories about each room. You don't feel like you are in a museum-type place but more like visiting Downton Abbey. You get to sit on chairs and sofas that past and present leaders and royalty have sat on. You hear their personal experiences, about their favourite rooms etc Well worth a visit!!
