Mount Stewart near Greyabbey [1]

Now a National Trust property, Mount Stewart was home to the Stewart family (later Vane-Tempest-Stewart) who later became better known as the holders of the title Marquess of Londonderry. The estate dates from 1744 although the house (originally known as Mount Pleasant) underwent extensive rebuilding throughout 19th century. The estate boasts extensive grounds and gardens, spread over some 98 acres.

The National Trust took over the gardens in 1957. The present chatelaine of the house (and the only surviving child of the 7th Marquess) Lady Mairi Bury (Dowager Viscountess Bury), gave the house and most of its contents to the Trust in 1977.
