Antrim Castle Gardens

The Antrim Castle Gardens site is an absolute gem and you will find nothing like these 400 year old gardens anywhere else. A recent £6m restoration project which received generous support from Heritage Lottery Fund has now preserved this historic site for generations to come. The Gardens are a unique living museum, with layer upon layer of design features and planting added over the centuries. Indeed, rarely is so much history preserved on one site. The many exceptional features include the ancient Motte, the Large Parterre, the Yew Tree Pond and the Pleasure Gardens.

Fantastic setting, with walks for all the family. There is a vast array of wildlife within the grounds, and a 1km riverside walk adjoining. If you're feeling a little peckish, there is c cafe on site, which serves nice food.

Bangor Castle Walled Garden

Reviewed By Sid8775 - Ipswich, United Kingdom

Whilst at the Starbucks a short hop up the road at the retail park we saw this on the map. So glad we came, it was beautiful, and also the car parking was plentiful and free. The gardens are kept tip top & looked amazing. There are benches around the outside where we sat for a while in the warm sun shine. Another nice thing was there was no issue with young children playing on the grass and running around, great to hear the laughter. There’s a small cafe with toilets too. If you are up for relaxing with a coffee, with a book and sitting in the sun this is right up your alley.

I purchased two delphinium plants on line from Ballyrobert, they were cheaper than a lot of other online gardening outlets and I wasn't expecting too much. Updates on the order were provided, the plants arrived quickly and were both very healthy and a decent size. In a few weeks they are really growing beautifully.
