Mount Stewart is a stunning family home and gardens in County Down, Northern Ireland. It is ranked in the world's top ten gardens and is wonderful to visit

Mount Stewart is an exceptional example of an Irish demesne, a beautiful and productive estate, with farmland, woodland, orchards and a walled garden providing for the 'big house'. Bought by the Stewarts in 1744, the woodlands they planted, the estate rides, follies and farmland remain largely unchanged. Discover a rich landscape of farmland, woodland, monuments and buildings, and a breath-taking hidden glen as you explore the historic demesne on Mount Stewart's newly opened walking trails.

This family home showcases collections of international and national significance including the famous painting Hambletonian – Rubbing Down by George Stubbs, the Congress of Vienna desk and books by W.B. Yeats and George Bernard Shaw.

Visitors can explore the house at their leisure and discover more about the Londonderry family and the roles they played in local and international history. The gardens at Mount Stewart are ranked as one of the top ten gardens in the world and are a delight to explore all year round.  Designed by Edith, Lady Londonderry, the formal and informal gardens showcase a rich tapestry of design and planting artistry. 

Mount Stewart also offers a tea room, shop, dedicated coach parking, specialist guided tours, wedding venue and filming location. 

Highlights include:
  • Voted one of the top ten gardens in the world.
  • Beautifully restored 18th Century family home
  • Collections of International and National significance
  • Annual exciting events programme
  • Bespoke gift shop offering local souvenirs.
  • Tea room selling tasty treats made from locally sourced produce.
