Lisburn's Historic Quarter

For many hundreds of years. Lisburn's strategic location on the river Lagan made it an important economic hub linking Belfast and Dublin.

The area now known as the Historic Quarter was first laid out in the 17th Century. It falls within the designated Conservation Area, which includes Market Square, Castle Street and Bridge Street.

This area was destoryed by the great fire of 1707, but an attractive 18th Century streetscape was rebuilt on the original layout and this has remained largely unchanged to the present day.

Guided walks of the Historic Quarter will leave the Lisburn Tourist Information Centre in Lisburn Square at 11am on the Last Saturday of the months from June to September. To book your place please call Lisburn Tourist Information Centre on 02892 660038. A selection of prints taken from original water colour artwork are also available in the Tourist Centres.
