The Ballance House, the headquarters of the Ulster New Zealand Trust (UNZT), is a restored 19th century homestead in the rural countryside of Glenavy. It was the birthplace of John Ballance (b.1839) who went on to become the 14th Premier of New Zealand (1891-93); he was a distinguished Liberal Premier, perhaps best known, before his untimely death in office, for being the first Dominion/Colonial Premier to successfully pioneer full female suffrage 25 years before it was achieved in the UK. There is a blue plaque (allocated by the Ulster History Circle) onsite commemorating John Ballance. Photo: NIWD

Castle Gardens is a beautiful spot in the centre of Lisburn which offers visitors a time out to enjoy the green open space. Castle Garden was once the site of Lisburn Castle, a 17th century fortified manor house, built by the Conway family, the landlords of Lisburn. The upper 19th century gardens and the 17th century terraces were restored by Lisburn City Council, with grant aid from the Heritage Lottery Fund in June 2008. The World War II Air Raid shelter was also converted into an education centre, for school and community use as part of this restoration project. Photo: NIWD
