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 an extensive redevelopment, the estate opened its doors in spring 2012, unveiling modern interactive exhibits alongside original family furnishings. Visitors are taken on a unique journey through the history of the estate and the fascinating characters who shaped it. The stunning demesne also features a wooded picnic area, a vibrant walled garden, and secluded walking trails to explore. The house and grounds are managed by an independent trust and run by a dedicated team of volunteers, including expert guides who are delighted to offer a variety of tailored tours.
