Windmill Hill is steeped in history. The remains of a windmill at the top of the hill are a reminder of a bygone era. Built in the late 1700s, the mill was used to grind wheat for the production of flour. But the picturesque site has also witnessed turbulent times and holds memories of the Battle of Ballynahinch. The battle, on June 12, was part of the 1798 Irish Rebellion fought between British forces and the United Irishmen.

The Dolmen can be found on the north east shore of Loughinisland Lake, within sight of Loughinisland Church. A slightly displaced capstone covers a rectangular chamber of which three side stones survive. An early account suggests that this was formerly inside a large circular cairn and approached through a lintelled passage, so it may be the remains of a passage tomb. It is famous as the platform from which Thomas Russell addressed a crowd of United Irishmen in 1803, after the main 1798 rising.

Rowallane Garden is one of the most beautiful gardens to visit in Northern Ireland, and is often described as a hidden gem. A mix of formal and informal garden spaces are waiting to be explored. Journey through the garden and discover the secret worlds within. Whatever the season there's always something new to see.
