Antrim Castle Gardens

These unique historic gardens, located close to Antrim town centre, are undergoing a major programme of works to restore many of the garden features dating back to the 17th century. The implementation of the scheme is intended to establish Antrim Castle Gardens as a major regional visitor destination and enhance the attractiveness of the site through the improved presentation and interpretation. When work is completed Antrim Castle Gardens will feature a network of formal and informal visitor experiences, building on the existing historic parkland with a number of notable, restored, new and ornamental gardens. The site will be easily accessible and will contain at its core, garden heritage, education and interpretation, and community arts facilities based around Clotworthy House, Long Barn and former Stable Yard. The gardens will retain a strong sense of history, intimacy and of place and at the same time provide for new informative visitor experiences.
