Neo-classical house and celebrated gardens.

The exotic luxuriance of Mount Stewart’s celebrated gardens, created in the 1920s by Edith, Lady Londonderry, has helped make it one of Northern Ireland’s most popular Trust properties with all the family. Nominated as a World Heritage Site, the impressive landscape garden makes the most of the unique microclimate of the Ards Peninsula and boasts magnificent views across Strangford Lough from the romantically idyllic Temple of the Winds. Engaging tours of the opulent house reveal its fascinating heritage and historic world-famous artefacts and artwork.

Winner of Sandford Award 2004, 2009.
