Mount Stewart, Neoclassical stately home in Newtownards, Northern Ireland
Mount Stewart features formal gardens with themed sections, including Italian and Spanish gardens, situated along the shores of Strangford Lough.
The Stewart family acquired the property in 1744, transforming it from Mount Pleasant into a significant estate through renovations and architectural additions.
The Temple of the Winds, designed by James Stuart, demonstrates neoclassical architecture with an octagonal structure influenced by Greek designs.
The estate opens daily from 10:00 to 16:00, providing mobility scooters, accessible facilities, and a tea room serving local produce.
The gardens contain rare plant species that thrive due to the mild climate, making them recognized among the top gardens worldwide.
