Castle Gardens is the most historically significant open space in Lisburn and was once the site of Lisburn Castle, a 17th century fortified manor house, built by the Conway family, the landlords of Lisburn. Upon the death of the last landlord, Sir Richard Wallace, and later his wife, Lady Wallace, the Gardens were gifted to the people of Lisburn by Lady Wallace's heir, Sir John Murray Scott in 1903.

Lisburn City Council has recently restored the upper 19th century gardens and the 17th century terraces, with grant aid from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

If you would like more details about the site and the people who lived in the castle, why not book a visit? Join a professional guide for a delightful promenade through the Gardens, listening to stories through the centuries. Find out about fires that destroyed Lisburn, who fought a duel over the hand of Mary Rawdon, and why Anne Conway's body was preserved in "spirits of wine".
