Voted one of the world's top 10 gardens, Mount Stewart’s dramatic design and bold planting schemes bear the hallmark of its creator, Edith, Lady Londonderry. Her skill, along with the mild climate of Strangford Lough, means that rare and tender plants from across the globe thrive in this celebrated garden. The Neo-classical house, revived in the 1920's and once again restored in recent years, contains a collection of international significance as well as much loved family treasures. There are grand rooms, used to entertain famous guests, as well as private sitting rooms and more. Along the way, you can hear fascinating stories about the Londonderry family and their impact on the global stage. For a different view of an exceptional Irish estate, there are miles of walking trails to explore, running through woods and farmland, opening up to stunning views over coast and countryside.
