About

Join us for the second episode of The Demesne Tour Series: the Headlands, House and Temple Tour.

The cliff-edge Mussenden Temple and surrounding Downhill Demesne is one of the jewels of the North Coast.

On this signature experience, our local storyteller will guide you on an incredible journey through time and history.

Explore the Earl Bishop Hervey's gardens and 'castle', and enjoy exclusive access to the iconic Mussenden Temple.

On this tour, you'll also soak up the breath-taking views of the Causeway coast, the wild Atlantic Ocean and perhaps even the shorelines of Donegal and Scotland.

For more information, please visit the event listing on the National Trust website.
