Gracehill Tours
As part of聽European Heritage Open Days,听Gracehill in County Antrim is having guided tours round the village. Founded by the Moravians over 250 years ago in 1765 and Northern Irelands first Conservation area, it really is a place with a story to tell.
Greyabbey Gardens
Back in the 12th century, the Cistercian monastery at Greyabbey in County Down would have had its own gardens - a kitchen garden, an orchard and very probably a physic garden filled with plants used to treat a variety of illnesses. Recently, they've recreated this - based on what they thought would have existed. Caroline Nolan went on a medicinal meander with volunteer, Steve Newell.
Derrylane Flax Mill
'Linen is the aristocrat of textiles. Strong as steel, delicate as silk and with an appearance as varied and attractive as an Irish landscape'. County Derry's only active linen-weaving mill, just outside Dungiven at Derrylane is owned and run by Hermann and Marion Bauer - and they're having a special open day there today.
