Springhill House, Moneymore

Springhill has a beguiling spirit that captures the heart of every visitor. Described as ‘one of the prettiest houses in Ulster’, its welcoming charm reveals a family home with portraits, furniture and decorative arts filling the rooms. It’s a simple but very pretty 'plantation' house with over 300 years of intriguing history, as well as magnificent gardens. Expert guides will add to the mysterious allure with stories of the friendly ghost, Olivia. The old laundry houses one of Springhill’s most popular attractions, the Costume Collection. The collection has some exceptionally fine 18th to 20th century pieces and is a fascinating mix of colourful haute couture and everyday accessories. An annually changing display is exhibited in the recently refurbished Costume Museum. No visit is complete without also enjoying the beautiful walled gardens or the beech tree walk.
