The dark hedges were planted in 1755 by James Stuart as an impressive drive towards the house. He built Gracehill House and named it after his wife Grace. There where 150 beech trees planted and still stand 250 years later. In January 2016 a storm named Gertrude fell upon Northern Ireland. Out of the fallen trees, 10 doors were carved and placed around sites of interest in Northern Ireland, one being the doors of Gracehill that is now a bar, restaurant and home to Gracehill Golf course.
