Dundalk Women's Shed visit Hillsborough House

Recently over fifty women from Dundalk’s Women’s Shed travelled to visit the country home and gardens at Hillsborough. 

They had an official tour of the house, and then walked through the magnificent gardens. 

The State Apartments at the castle have recently been redecorated and re-presented as a traditional Irish Big House, suitable as a space for royal ceremony.  

As part of Historic Royal Palaces' ambitious project, an army of skilled craftspeople helped re-present many of the lovely original features within the house and in the gardens.
