This is a quiet and lovely place to visit. Bring your dog for a brisk walk on the wooded trail. The trail is medium terrain and I wouldn't recommend it for very young children or disabled, unless they are assisted.

Hi - Thanks so much for your review of Ayr Mount. We are glad you enjoyed your house tour and a walk about the grounds. The grounds are open daily for visits regardless of weather - but you are right, a sunny day is near perfection when the sun hits the pond and the birds are singing. Sometimes you can even see or hear a turtle snap. Hope you will be able to visit again.Cheers, Ayr Mount staff

When you visit Hillsborough don't forget to visit Ayr Mount. From the visitor center, where we parked our car, it's a 4 minute drive to the historic site. Entry is free for the Poet's Walk. 1 mile walk, though the land and through some little forest. You have a nice view over the large house. We didn't visit it, because it was closed. You need to pay a fee to visit the house though. Poet's Walk is beautiful and worth doing.

I've never actually been inside the home, but I've run or walked the 1 mile trail around the property at least 30 times. Landscape varies from riverside to rolling hills, and I never ever tire of it. The people that take care of this property really care about it, and it shows!There is a fee for the home tour, but not for the grounds (although donations are much appreciated and certainly well-deserved!)There are picnic tables, and plenty of spaces by the pond or in the fields for a picnic or kite flying!Leashed dogs welcome (please don't be a jerk and let your dog run free or leave poop on the trail though - thank you!)Speaking of bathrooms - there are none on the grounds so if you are not doing the house tour make a stop before you get here.

Such a beautiful place to visit and walk..peaceful.Get to stroll past a lovely historic home (never went in there though, yet).Nicely marked paths, stroll across the river, a reflecting pond.Enjoy!

The grounds are beautiful with the lovely Poet's Walk. You can walk your leashed pet too! Sadly, the home is not always open as was the case this time.

Pat the docent is full of knowledge and tidbits about the family and the house. Beautiful grounds for walking.

Ayr Mount should not be missed! Superb house, and the grounds are wonderful to relax in. The Poet's Walk is a grand meander through the woods around the bottom land of the home site. Before long, it should be connected to Hillsborough's River Walk. Highly recommended!Be sure to find out if home open to the public when you want to visit. Christmas is also a fun, beautiful time to see the house.

We visited for a family hike around poets walk. This is a great location for a walk/hike with a BOB type off-road stroller. My 1 year old son loved it.

I am fortunate to live down the street from Ayr Mount, as it continuously draws me to its beauty. The inside of the house is furnished impeccably with priceless antiques which perfectly complement the stunning moldings and art work.For me though...it is the grounds and the trail which beckon me for I love to be out in nature and to muse as i wander along Poet's walk. It is magical at all times of the year.Perhaps after your walk, sit upon the wonderful adirondack chairs and pretend the grounds are yours...A most special place...any time of the year...
