Lisburn and Castlereagh City is a popular place for visitors and there is certainly plenty to see and do.

From hotels, bars, entertainment, the great outdoors, and lots of history, there is something for everyone visiting the city.

Here are twenty of our favourite spots to visit in the city.

Ashvale Farm Shop and Tea Rooms on the outskirts of Lisburn is a lovely spot for breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea. Founded in 2014, Ashvale Farm Shop began life as a small farm shop with a sixteen seater tea room. Over the course of the past decade, the venture has continued to develop and evolve. Following several expansions of the original buildings, 2021 saw the latest addition to the enterprise, with the opening of an orangery which doubled the tea room in size.
