Overview
Filled with the spirit and character of Edith, Lady Londonderry, the house and gardens are brimming with imagination, colour and passion. Edith created a haven for her world renowned guests, a playground for children and a place alive with adventure and fun. The Londonderry's family home has recently been restored to its former glory with additional rooms open for the first time. Other features include internationally important portraits and stunning family treasures. In the grounds you'll find a picturesque lake surrounded by swathes of woodland; a walled garden with rose gardens, dairy and vinery; and the beautiful Temple of the Winds, which was built as a dining lodge for the family, and now serves as a charming and romantic location for weddings and other events. There are also a number of new walking trails opened up in the wider Demesne allowing visitors access through a landscape 'lost in time' with forest trails, farmland and wonderful views to enjoy.
