The Temple of the Four Winds was built in 1910 by Viscount Pirrie, an Irish shipbuilder and businessman. Over the years, the lodge fell into disrepair and was demolished in 1966. However, in recent years volunteers have unearthed the stone base and cut the shrubs back to reveal enchanting views. The site is managed by the National Trust.

Hiking

As you vear off to the left the next left just brings you back around to this monument, you get to see one of the old estate gates, but otherwise it's better to take the second left (if heading that way of course 😁)

Second best viewpoint in the Punchbowl itself, often missed and quiet, definitely worth the hilly climb to reach it.
