Grey Abbey
These splendid ruins of a Cistercian Abbey church and conventual buildings are the finest example of Anglo-Norman ecclesiastical architecture in Northern Ireland.
Ulster Museum
Come face to face with dinosaurs, meet an Egyptian Mummy and see modern masterpieces with a visit to the Ulster Museum, Northern Ireland’s treasure house of the past and present.
Museum at The Mill
Housed within what was originally the wet spinning floor, the museum tells the story of Mossley Mill and the people who worked there from the 1800s through to the mill closure in 1995. The history is presented through a range of interpretative displays including artefacts, images and archival film.
Sentry Hill Historic House
Sentry Hill was the home of the McKinney family, who came to Ireland from Scotland in the early 1700s. Remarkably the contents of the house have survived almost intact.
Headhunters Railway Museum & Barbers
A trip to Headhunters Barber Shop & Railway Museum is like taking a remarkable journey into the past bringing the golden age of the railway vividly to life. Visitors will enjoy the evocative nostalgia, social heritage and amazing artefacts associated with the railways, which operated throughout Fermanagh and the Border Counties until their closure in 1957.
Ballywalter Estate
An Italianate palazzo mansion constructed by Charles Lanyon for Andrew Mulholland, great, great, great grandfather of the present owner. An opportunity to see how Victorian grandeur is matched with a contemporary twist.
Portaferry Presbyterian Church
Portaferry Presbyterian Church was built in 1841, in the Greek revival style, possibly using the Temple of Nemesis on the Greek Island of Rhamnous as a model. This Greek Doric temple, designed by the Belfast architect John Millar, is tucked away behind High Street and the buildings fronting The Square. In spite of its architectural importance and dominance of the area in which it stands, it is not particularly well known outside the locality.
F. E. McWilliam Gallery & Studio
The F.E. McWilliam Gallery and Studio in Banbridge is dedicated to the memory of Banbridge-born sculptor Frederick Edward McWilliam, one of Ireland’s most influential and successful artists.
Downpatrick & County Down Railway
Travel back into the past with real vintage steam trains. The railway is Northern Ireland’s only standard gauge (i.e. full size) heritage railway and is based in the county town of Down.
Saint Columb’s Cathedral
Dominating the skyline on all approaches to the city of Londonderry is Saint Columb’s Cathedral, which has stood on its prominent site inside the famous walls of Derry since 1633.
