Day Twelve – Wednesday October 22nd

10.00hrs – We depart our hotel
We start the day with a City Tour of Belfast

Belfast is Northern Ireland’s capital. It was the birthplace of the RMS Titanic, which famously struck an iceberg and sunk in 1912. This legacy is recalled in the renovated dockyards’ Titanic Quarter, which includes the Titanic Belfast, an aluminium-clad museum reminiscent of a ship’s hull, as well as shipbuilder Harland & Wolff’s Drawing Offices and the Titanic Slipways, which now host open-air concerts

From the City we head out to Hillsborough Castle & Gardens

Hillsborough is a late 18th century Irish Big House rather than a castle. It was very common for the rich, predominantly Anglo- Irish upper classes to call their grand country houses ‘castles’, as this reinforced the antiquity of their families. In this case the name refers back to the original ‘fort’, which was the first home of the successful Hill family who gave the town its name. The grand Big House of Hillsborough replaced this earlier fortified home, which we now call The Fort.

We return to the City mid-afternoon and the rest of the day is at leisure
Dinner is under your own arrangement this evening.
