Lissan House

A very interesting visit to a place deserving public support to preserve and retain this piece of ulster history. The trustees do well but need funds. The smith's forge was working when I visited with my 95 yr old mum. We were made extremely welcome and mum was treated to a cup of tea!

Wonderful old house,estate and grounds that oozed history and memories of times gone by. You could imagine the house in all its grandeur, full of vibrancy and class with many stories told and forgotten. Like a monument to begone days it survives with some parts more lost than others. Considering its not a national trust property and relies on volunteers for finance and practical services ,its a lovely testament to the special place it holds for the people of Cookstown and beyond. Really enjoyed my time here walking round all the different aspects of the house, like the stables ,gardens and house itself. Definitely worth a drive up the long lane to experience the magic of a piece of history. The Victorian age of wonder for the gentry, just like Tom's midnight garden, I felt like I'd stepped back in time.
