Mount Stewart House, is situated on the tranquil shores of Strangford Lough, was the home of the Londonderry family since the 18th century. This influential family played a leading role in British political and social life. Inside are works of art that have been collected from around the world on their travels and the famous painting `Hambletonian´ by George Stubbs. In the grounds is the Temple of the Winds, an 18th century octagonal banqueting hall. The gardens are a series of outdoor `rooms´ and also the Dodo Terrace with its concrete animal statue.
