Springhill

Discover new spaces at Springhill...this display will give you a look at some bugs up close, the power of light on an object and what it does as a consequence and also a look at how much dust we can collect after a good clean.

There are lots of exciting new things to come and see and do at Springhill. We have both a children’s play area, called The Costume Closet, as well as a costume exhibition in the museum called 'Naturally Inspired, Beautifully Attired'.

When the National Trust received Springhill house in 1957, it contained one of the most remarkable historic libraries in Ireland - going back to the middle of the 17th century.

Our meadows are awash with bright yellow buttercups which cannot help but make you smile, even when it is raining!

Come and visit Springhill’s exciting natural play area, offering an amazing place for children to explore, run wild and have hours of endless fun!

Enjoy a stroll on a historic path as laid out by ‘Good Will’ in the late 1600’s. It’s a favourite walking route of the generations of Lennox-Conynghams who once lived here.

Enjoy splendid views of Slieve Gallion on this path that runs along the perimeter of the estate, marked by the great oaks and a ring of trees where the sawpit was once located.
