Attractions in Lisburn

Many visitors to Lisburn go shopping, and the city centre’s best retail experience is the Bow Street Mall. The shopping centre has more than 60 shops and restaurants. Lisburn Castle Gardens is a beautiful green space in the city centre. It is on the site of Lisburn Castle, a 17th-century manor house built by the Conway family. The current building was built in the 1770s by Wills Hill, the first Marquis of Downshire. Other attractions in Lisburn include the Riverside Theatre and the Linen Museum.

Under five miles south of Lisburn’s city centre is the pretty village of Hillsborough. Situated in the heart of County Down, much of the village features elegant Georgian properties. The village is also home to Hillsborough Castle, a Georgian-style mansion that served as Northern Ireland’s Government House between 1924 and 1973. The property continues to be a royal residence. Built between 1760 and 1774, Saint Malachy Church is a fine example of Gothic Revival architecture.
