Springhill

Springhill gardens are well and truly in bloom and the grounds are alive with the sights and sounds of the season. In days gone by the vibrant gardens and woodland would have been enjoyed and used by the many generations of the Lenox-Conyngham family who once lived at Springhill.

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

The summer palette has moved from vibrant greens, balanced by the multitude of flowers and their many colours and shades, to the wonderful browns, oranges, yellows and reds which flash across the often steel-grey skies of autumn.

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.
