Discover an enchanted world at the Sir Hans Sloane Centre in the shadow of 12th century Killyleagh Castle and a stone's throw from Strangford Lough.

This hidden gem interprets the history of Killyleagh and Shrigley, its monuments, flora and fauna and houses a collection of fascinating items relating to 18th century life.

Visitors can see a recreation of Sir Hans Sloane's study, herbal medicine chest and cabinet of curiosities, learning about every day objects, antique furniture and decorative arts that would be found in many Georgian homes. A gallery of rare botanical prints highlights the work of female botanists with a connection to Sir Hans Sloane or Co. Down.

Our delightful botanic garden offers an interactive sensory experiences where the colours, textures and fragrances of rare heritage plants, herbs and specimen trees that thrive in our microclimate await.
