Lissan House

In the charismatic little town of Cookstown, Northern Ireland lies the majestic and awe-inspiring Lissan House. The quaint location of the mansion at the base of the Sperrin Mountains only adds to its already existing charm. The captivating country house was established in the 17th Century and was the private estate of the Staples family for around 400 years. The poignant story of the historically-significant monument is now an important feature of the guided tours that take place on the site. Besides the educational and interactive tours the visitors are also permitted to venture through the surrounding lush woodlands and take a peaceful stroll along the picturesque riverside path. A special children’s playground and picnic area ensure that the visit is a fun-filled event for the entire family. Public access is granted for a moderate but worthwhile fee and parking facilities are easily available.
