    Hiking

    An old dilapidated 18th century mansion close to Mussenden Temple. A mystical place!

    Running

    The house you see was built in the 18th century
    A tremendous fire destroyed the house in 1851, and the library, along with numerous important sculptures and paintings, was lost. The house remained in the Bishop's family until 1948.

    Once a grand, Italian-inspired home, Downhill House was devastated by fire in May 1851 and almost completely burned down.
