Members-Only Gardens Tours

With ornamental grounds, peaceful woodland, meandering waterways and picturesque glens, the historic gardens surrounding Northern Ireland's royal residence are a joy to explore.

On these members-only tours, come and discover the gardens at Hillsborough Castle with Gardens Manager, Claire Woods.

These tours are an exclusive opportunity to explore the gardens with our Gardens Manager and are included in the cost of your membership. Equivalent tours require payment for non-members. Tickets are limited so please only book if you are available and will attend.

We recommend sturdy footwear as paths can be rough and routes will involve steep steps.

Autumn is a time to harvest and this walk will be focused on the Walled Garden where you will be introduced to all the crops that are ready for harvest. The early apples and pears should be ripe and ready to taste. We will also look at the best of the autumn flowering herbaceous plants in the borders and how to keep them looking lovely through the season.
