🚗HillsboroughStart Point

Hillsborough is Northern Ireland’s most elegant small town — a Georgian settlement around a fortified gate house, a castle and a collegiate church, with Hillsborough Forest Park threading through wooded grounds behind the castle and the Lagan Valley Regional Park beginning just to the north.

A beautifully preserved Georgian town with excellent restaurants, a farmers’ market and Hillsborough Castle (official Northern Ireland residence of the King), Hillsborough makes a pleasant and civilised walking base within easy reach of Belfast.
