Hillsborough Village Self Guided Tour
'Entering Hillsborough Forest you will have an opportunity to relax in tranquil and unspoilt surroundings. This is an ideal location for a picnic or to spend a day angling in the lake (permits required). The lake is a haven for swans and wildfowl and attracts ornithologists throughout the year.'
'Hillsborough stands south of Lisburn off the main Belfast to Dublin Road and is an unspoilt 18th and 19th century village ... The Village takes its name from Colonel Arthur Hill who completed the building of Hillsborough Fort in 1650. WillsHill was created Viscount Kilwarlin and Earl of Hillsborough in 1751 and became the first Marquis of Downshire in 1789. The family had a huge impact on the village and today Hillsborough has a number of beautiful Georgian buildings that date from the 18th century.'
