About National Trust - Lisnabreeny
Welcome to the National Trust - Lisnabreeny! We are an establishment that offers a unique blend of natural beauty, history, and recreation - all in one stunning location. Located just off the Manse Rd in Belfast, we are a popular tourist attraction and a point of interest for locals and visitors alike.
At the heart of our institution is our park, a tranquil oasis that is perfect for a leisurely stroll or a picnic with family and friends. Our abundant greenery is home to an array of flora and fauna, making it a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers. Our park also features several walking trails that weave through the woodlands, meadows, and gardens. Each trail offers a different experience, from the panoramic views of the city to the peaceful, shaded paths that wind through the trees.
What sets us apart, however, is our rich history. Our institution is situated on the site of a former Presbyterian manse, which dates back to the 18th century. The manse was built for the Reverend James Bryson, and it was occupied by his family until 1883. Today, the former manse serves as the headquarters of the National Trust - Lisnabreeny, and it still retains much of its original character and charm.
Visitors can explore the various rooms of the manse, which have been restored to reflect their original look and feel. The upstairs bedroom, for example, has been furnished with antique beds, wardrobes, and dressing tables, giving visitors a glimpse into life in the 18th century. The drawing-room, meanwhile, has been decorated with period furnishings and artwork, transporting you back in time to a bygone era.
In addition to our park and manse, we also offer a range of events and activities throughout the year. These include guided tours, nature walks, family-friendly activities, and much more. So whether you're a local looking for a peaceful retreat or a tourist in search of a unique experience, come visit us at the National Trust - Lisnabreeny. We promise you won't be disappointed!

Reviews of National Trust - Lisnabreeny
"An interesting Rath with nice views from the path on the route to it if you walk up from Cregagh Glen. Access to the Rath is from the small carpark nearby or via a rough path that climbs uphill from Cregagh Glen. Acess onto the rath itself is via some muddy worn paths or along a path which is partially covered in wooden boards. Please be very careful on the wooden boards because they are dreadfully slippery in parts when damp. There is one seat and and Information board nearby on the latter route. There are no other facilities. Sadly there was litter in the car park, on the path and in the Rath. We removed what we could. Overall this is somewhere to visit if you are passing nearby."
"This is the one of few places i never get tired of visiting."

"Place ok to visit. There is a picnic table but not barbecue table. A lit bit of mud but nice threes."
"Great place to explore but a lot of dog poo. Paths are quite rough so would recommend suitable footwear. Wonderful views over Belfast. Well worth a visit. Not suitable for prams and wheelchairs and for a national trust place there are no toilet facilities"
