Lissan House is an enchanting country residence set within a 250
acre demesne of ancient woodland and forestry. The estate was
created in the 17th century and remained the home of the Staples
family for nearly 400 years, reputedly the longest habitation by
any single family of a country house in West Ulster.
Following extensive redevelopment the house opened its doors in
spring 2012 to reveal modern interactive exhibits and original
family furnishings which take you on a unique journey through the
history of the estate and the family characters that have shaped
it. The demesne also features a challenging adventure playground
for children, a wooded picnic area, walled garden and secluded
walks to explore.
