The daffodil garden at Barnett Demesne illustrates Northern Irelands contribution over many generations to daffodil breeding. The daffodils are planted in large masses under the parkland trees, following the unusual classification of the daffodil family.
During the flowering season in March and April, the entire collection is comprehensively labelled. At other times of the year, visitors can enjoy the elegant open parkland with views back to the Belfast hills and forward over the Lagan river valley. Around Malone House, a restored Regency house, a more conventional garden features a conservatory with terraces and mixed borders around a sundial lawn.
Opening times:
Demesne open 8 May-17 July.
Closes 10pm. After July closing times vary.
