    Weddings at Mussenden Temple

    Mussenden Temple, located in the beautiful surroundings of Downhill Demesne, provides the perfect setting for your wedding day. Originally built as a library and dedicated to the Earl Bishop of Derry's cousin, Mrs Mussenden, the Temple perches dramatically on a cliff top.

    Chosen by the Earl Bishop of Derry as the location to build a country house, Downhill Demesne provides panoramic views of the North Coast and Donegal, and also the tranquil gardens at the Bishops Gate, a wonderful location for those wedding photos.
