Mount Stewart - National Trust

Mount Stewart - National Trust Mount Stewart is one of the most inspiring and unusual gardens in the National Trust's ownership with miles of countryside trails to explore
(841)

The garden reflects a rich tapestry of design and great planting artistry that was the hallmark of Edith, Lady Londonderry. The mild climate of Strangford Lough allows astonishing levels of planting experimentation. The formal areas exude a strong Mediterranean feel and resemble an Italian villa landscape; the wooded areas support a range of plants from all corners of the world, ensuring something

to see whatever the season. Engaging tours of the opulent house reveal its fascinating heritage and historic world-famous artefacts and artwork. House Rules of our page:

If you've been in the Italian garden this week, you'll have noticed a lot of activity. Scaffolding has been constructed around the monkey pots on the right hand side of the garden as part of a big piece of conservation work.

You'll see Conservator Claire consolidating the monkey pots over the next few days before they get wrapped up in protecting materials in preparation to be moved, but don't worry they're not going far!

Access to garden remains open and we look forward to sharing more details of this exciting work soon so stay tuned!

Join Tessa Ann, founder of The Sound Healing Spa, for a special Summer Solstice Sound Experience.

The Autumn Equinox marks a moment of seasonal balance, when day and night stand in equal measure. It is a natural pause point in the year, inviting reflection on what has grown, what has been gathered, and what you may wish to carry forward into the quieter months ahead.

This carefully curated three-hour experience, limited to just 16 guests, offers space to slow down, rest, and reconnect. Thoughtfully designed to create a contained and restorative space for deep rest, spacious awareness, and gentle recalibration.

Using carefully selected live sound, including singing bowls, gentle percussion, and spacious periods of stillness, Tessa creates an environment that invites you to soften and settle.

Following the sound experience, guests will have time to gently re-emerge, integrate their experience, and enjoy a light seasonal lunch prepared by the Mount Stewart team.
