Royal Hillsborough is an old historic village in Northern Ireland that boasts impressive Georgian architecture and has been granted the prefix "Royal" as recognition of its connection to British Royal Family's official residence, Hillsborough Castle. The village is located 19 kilometers from Belfast .You will find gorgeous Georgian streets lined with flowers, gastro pubs, boutiques and quaint cafes full of charm. This beautiful village is one of the most beautiful destinations to discover in Northern Ireland.

The village includes a wealth of attractions including Hillsborough Castle, Hillsborough Fort, Hillsborough Forest Park & Lake, and St. Malachy's Parish Church. It also hosts the annual International Oyster Festival that attracts thousands of visitors annually.
