Mount Stewart is one of the most unique and unusual gardens in the ownership of the National Trust. Ranked as one of the top five gardens to visit in the British Isles, a group visit to Mount Stewart is a must.
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.
