When Lady Londonderry made Mount Stewart her home in 1921, she created something truly unique. Delighted with her new home, she wrote to her husband Charles, ‘this is the most divine house, why do we live anywhere else!’ The house plays host to many items of family memorabilia including paintings, ceramics, furniture and porcelain.
The trimmed and wildflower gardens reflect a rich tapestry of design and great planting artistry that was the hallmark of Edith, Lady Londonderry.
