バリーブラックリトルのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Of course, such a beautiful park also needs a pond with a bridge to the island, etc.

Both the park and the Mount Stewart House itself are outstanding attractions.

Like a painting - inhabited by a pair of swans.

You learn to appreciate gardening here: the park around Mount Stewart House looks slightly overgrown, wonderfully randomly grown and seems somewhat neglected and untidy with subtle art between the unobtrusive flowers and colors. Of course, nothing here is natural and nothing is random, but it is incredibly beautiful to look at.

Follow this flat, paved path along the northern strand of Strangford Lough near Newtownwards. You're afforded great views out over the water and also of Scrabo Tower, which looms above the town.

Voted as one of the top ten gardens in the world, Mount Stewart reflects a rich tapestry of design and planting artistry bearing the hallmark of its creator. Edith, Lady Londonderry’s passion for bold planting schemes coupled with the mild climate of Strangford Lough allows rare and tender plants from across the globe to thrive in this celebrated garden. Each of the formal gardens exudes a distinct character and appeal. Mount Stewart is a delight for the senses with a series of formal themed garden compartments around the house including The Italian, Spanish, Mairi and Shamrock Garden.

For a different view of Mount Stewart, stroll around miles of new walking trails and discover a landscape lost in time. Taking in the stunning view from the Temple of the Winds. Trails will take you through magical woodland and farmland, set within an iconic rolling drumlin landscape beside the Lough. Gift Shop, Picnic Area, Restaurant and Tea-room / Cafe onsite
