Hillsborough Castle

Built in the 1840s, the Throne Room at Hillsborough Castle is the place where Queen Elizabeth II celebrated her coronation in 1953. It is the grandest room in the castle.

Originally the drawing room, the Red Room has hosted various political meetings since the 1970s. Draped in striking red damask silk fabrics, the room boasts artworks made by renowned artists such as Antony van Dyck, Sir Joshua Reynolds, and William Hogarth.

As the name suggests, the Jubilee Partree was created in 2012 in honor of Queen Elizabeth II’s diamond jubilee. Redesigned in 2016, the garden is a formal arrangement of symmetrically planted garden beds.

Located at the end of the road that led to the Square, the Greek Temple was built in the 19th century and provides a unique and great place to enjoy the views of the surrounding areas such as the south terrace and Lady Alice’s temple.

Created by Lady Rose Bowes-Lyon, aunt to Queen Elizabeth II, the Granville Garden is resplendent with fragrant rose beds that beautifully bloom during the spring and summer.

One of the prominent features is the Walled Garden, which dates back to the 18th century. This enclosed garden space is characterized by meticulously maintained flowerbeds, manicured lawns, and a variety of plants.

The Yew Tree Walk is a scenic pathway lined with ancient yew trees. These trees create a shaded and atmospheric avenue for visitors to stroll along, adding a sense of enchantment to the garden experience.

Nestled within the grounds is Lady Alice's Temple, a charming architectural feature that adds a touch of romanticism to the landscape.

Sprinkled with vibrant magnolias, camellias, and other such flowers, the Glen is a classic Victorian garden feature that is particularly stunning during the spring and summer.
