The story of Lissan House and those who resided here is brought to
shimmering life through the work of our famously enthusiastic
guiding team. We tell the story of how the Staples family came to
set up home here and how their fortunes faired through good times
and bad. You will be introduced to key players in a fascinating
story which ranges over 400 years and find out about some of the
larger than life characters who called this place home.
Our experienced guides are very well informed and entertaining but
there are also interactive exhibits which add an extra dimension
to the tour experience . Living History is a fun feature of tours
on special event days.
Lissan House is nestled at the heart of a 267-acre demesne,
preserved largely in its natural, untamed beauty. The estate is
home to a variety of fascinating outbuildings and points of
interest, with highlights such as the breathtaking display of
bluebells that grace the grounds each year.
Join one of our expert estate tour guides to discover the rich
history of Lissan House and explore the stunning grounds beyond
the house itself.
