Rewind at Mount Stewart

15 mins from previous

Rewind with a trip to Mount Stewart which is a neo-classical family home and discover some of the most unique gardens in the world. Voted as one of the top ten gardens in the world, Mount Stewart reflects a rich tapestry of design and planting artistry bearing the hallmark of its creator. Lady Londonderry’s passion for bold planting schemes coupled with the mild climate of Strangford Lough allows rare and tender plants from across the globe to thrive in this celebrated garden. Each of the formal gardens exudes a distinct character and appeal and further afield visitors can enjoy the beautifully landscaped and informal grounds surrounding the picturesque lake walk. You can stroll through the gardens or avail of one of our guided garden tours (with one of the knowledgeable gardening team) to the formal gardens and beyond. Come and see how the recent £7million restoration has transformed the house including new rooms on show, the opportunity to see nationally and internationally significant family portraits, stunning silver collections and other family treasures.
