Description
Celebrate the 227th anniversary of The Battle of Ballynahinch, by taking a walking tour with historian, Ken Dawson, through Montalto Estate.
Inhale the scents of these beautiful gardens and hear the crunch of gravel underfoot as you are transported back in time to hear the stories of not only the battle, but the estate itself. Over tea/coffee and homemade traybakes, you will hear his vision for Montalto as a jewel in the heart of the County Down countryside with an estate including a lake and a vast woodland of native and naturalised trees.
Through your charming and knowledgeable guide, gain a deep appreciation for this estate’s past before fully embracing nature within the serenely lush grounds.
**Your meeting point for this tour is in The Café. Please dress accordingly for woodland terrain and weather conditions. Each participant will be given individual audio equipment so they can enjoy the experience. There will be some steep inclines on this tour**
- Admission £19
