Holiday to Belfast #2 - Royal Hillsborough

[debris4spike]

As I said, I have had a week in Belfast and for most of the time I stayed in the city.  However on one of the days I caught a bus to the village of Royal Hillsborough.

I had a tour around the castle ... including seeing a copy of The Good Friday Agreement, and some of the original rooms. We weren't invited for tea with the King though, but he was in London, so can't really complain! No photos were allowed, but the grounds were more than worth a wander -






















The walled garden -









The village street -





The Church -









The Fort (built in 1650)





War Memorial -


In the old school was a WWI Memorial Museum -

Gorgeous passion flower!

It was stunning - the whole plant had quite a few ... well when King Charles was interviewed when younger he did say he spoke to his plants ... so maybe that's the answer 😉
