Brook Hall Estate & Gardens
Review
Perched perfectly upon the banks of the River Foyle, Brook Hall Estate & Gardens is a captivating journey through Northern Ireland's rich heritage and history. From the Siege of Derry to the World Wars, the estate reveals layers of stories you never knew you were missing. Your guide, David Gilliland, son of the current owner, brings the past to life with passion and expertise, weaving tales of its time as King James II’s headquarters and its pivotal role in the region's history. The gardens and parkland are equally enchanting, showcasing nature’s beauty alongside historical grandeur. Visitors are urged to book tours in advance through their website, as walk-ins are not accommodated. A visit here is not just a tour but a step back in time, offering a profound appreciation of Derry’s heritage. Brook Hall is a hidden gem that promises an unforgettable experience for history buffs and nature lovers alike.
