Great garden. A must see. The head gardener herself made us even more enthusiastic by giving lots of extra information. We will definitely come back

Such an amazing place to visit. This time (Dec 2023) the grounds were open for a snowman hunt. Large snowmen were placed around the gardens so children and adults alike could engage whilst walking the grounds. Last year (2022) they did a light show, which was amazing.
Though very enjoyable it was very wet and so you need to remember to take appropriate clothing.
Haven’t yet been during spring and summer when everything is in bloom etc and I bet that it absolutely amazing.
Did enjoy the walk around the lake. The swans know you are there lol. When you get to a certain point around the lake there is a seed ‘vending machine’ (£1 coins). If you stop here to catch your breathe, tie your laces or like me buy some seed then by the time you’ve looked back up the swans, ducks etc have appeared. 😂 They know.
There are tours but I preferred to wonder.
The cafe and gift shop are also worth a visit. I had a lovely cooked breakfast.

Bought two tickets cost £19.00 for what was described as a 'tour' of the gardens and castle. Directions given with map for the gardens ,visitor centre and coffee shop. Informed of Snowman Trail which we acknowledged but declined. We then discovered the castle was closed and returned to reception to ask what time the garden tour commenced. Another member of staff informed us we could 'self tour' using map. So we had paid £19.00 to walk around grounds and access to the visitor centre. I returned to reception and asked for a refund explaining we had misunderstood the word 'tour'. The receptionist refused to refund stating the computerised system could take payments but could not refund same. There was no attempt made to take my contact details.

Lovely Christmassy experience with the Snowmen! Have been on previous occasions and although different this year just as nice, beautiful walks around the gardens.
Hillsborough Castle always provides the most magical experience at Christmas.. my son particularily enjoyed the chocolate making workshop and the Christmas storytelling, the staff were fantastic and had so much time to help and any questions. There is even the opportunity for brunch with Santa!!
Truely a magical experience had by all - staff are so friendly and welcoming and will continue to recommend to family and friends to add as a Christmas tradition. Thanks again Hillsborough Castle and Gardens!!

Quando i reali d'Inghilterra vengono in Irlanda del Nord, soggiornano qui, in questo Castello che vanta anche dei bellissimi giardini, con una parte di piante da frutto che molto interessano al Re Carlo e consorte. E' un castello che ha molto "aria di casa" con fotografie di famiglia su tavolini e camini sparsi qua e là, dipinti fatti da Carlo stesso, e ritratti della Regina Elisabetta e della Royal Family.

Excellent tour of the Politics history of Hillsborough Castle - from Benjamin Franklin, though the NI negotiations that brought an end to violence, to George Bush and the announcement of the invasion of Iraq. Super guide (Christine I think). Very well done.

Have visited the gardens Christmas lights in 2021 and 2022 so booked again on their website for 2023.
Turns out there is no Christmas lights in 2023 and they won’t provide a refund despite the fact their website doesn’t make it clear that no Christmas lights are taking place. Disgraceful and won’t visit again!

Had the disappointment of going to Halloween walk at Hillsborough Castle on Sunday 29th October 2023. Totally underwhelmed by the whole set up. Scarecrows on the walk were not lit up so unable to see them at all. The path was not well lit at some points. Apart from the carved pumpkins and an excellent witch at the start of the walk there was no other references to Halloween 🎃. I expected a spooky Halloween walk and amazing lights but got neither. The children described it as disappointing which just about sums it up. I asked another lady what she thought in case I was being unfair. The word she used to describe the event was underwhelming. I will now be given Christmas a miss as a result.

Been meaning to visit the castle and grounds for a while as had previously visited the cafe with family on a few occasions.
Glad I did visit, wonderfully historic site and considerably bigger than I thought. The tour guides provide great insight into the various rooms and the historic context of the artefacts in the castle.
What I wasn’t expecting was the extensive grounds, gardens, exotic plants and water features. They were all stunning .
All in all a great day out if you enjoy history and a scenic stroll.

We’re bringing disabled visitor tomorrow. I’ve booked tickets but I’m concerned to read that it’s a long walk from the car park to the visitor centre. This is a wheelchair user and the carer is 68. Is there another way to get to castle as we’ve booked a tour and hope to have lunch.

The car park at the rear of the castle and on the A1 itself, is a main entrance where you have access to the visitor centre and cafe/restaurant. This would not be difficult with a wheel chair. There are lots and lots of car parking spaces for wheelchair users/less able bodied people, at top of the car park to minimise walking and there are not steps to negotiate.
Do you have to pay the entrance fee to the castle and gardens if you only want to go to the cafe

No you don’t have to pay just to go to restaurant but I agree there are better dining options in Hillsborough village, although a good place to stop if you are travelling on the dual carriageway
How far is the new carpark on dual carriageway from coffee shop?
ParsonRussell
Enniskillen, UK306 inlägg
Not far at all! There are a few eateries in the grounds the first (&biggest) is where u buy ticket to see around either gardens & house or gardens only....but u don’t have to buy a ticket to get as far as that restaurant. There are ramps too if u thinking of wheeling prams or chairs & likely wheelie/child friendly parking near entrance.

As I recollect there are no picnic tables or seats but the grounds surrounding the Fort offer a delightful picnic opportunity.
