Larchfield Estate
Set in the heart of the rolling County Down countryside, the private walled estate of Larchfield Estate offers a countryside haven within easy reach of Lisburn and Belfast.
Sweeping drives lead to the country house which was originally built in 1750 by the Mussenden family and then remodelled in a Georgian style in the 1850s. The extensive landscaped gardens are stunning throughout the year; with early spring blossom in the rock and pleasure gardens, followed by summer colour in the walled garden and fantastic autumn colours around lake walks.
