About this Event
Join us for a walking tour through the enchanting, untamed grounds of Lissan House. You will discover gate lodges, industrial heritage, field names and more about the buildings which supported the estate across its 400-year history, and some of the stories behind them.
This tour will be led by Sebastian Graham. Sebastian is the Heritage at Risk Officer at Ulster Architectural Heritage, and curator of Mills of Northern Ireland. Sebastian is local to Cookstown and has a wealth of knowledge of Lissan estate and its historic buildings.
