About

Join the National Trust and Hervey Heritage Group on a journey through time and history across one of the jewels of the North Coast.

Taking off from the Bishop's Gate entrance of Downhill Demesne, this two-hour walk-and-talk will take you through the Earl Bishop Hervey's estate, including his gardens and 'castle'.

It is the perfect opportunity to soak up the surrounding landscapes and breath-taking views of golden beaches, crashing Atlantic waves, and perhaps even the shorelines of Inishowen and Scotland.

You'll also enjoy exclusive access to the iconic cliff-edge Mussenden Temple.

For more information, including how to book your tickets, please visit the event listing on the National Trust website.

Please note: This event is suitable for people aged 16 and above, and is subject to weather conditions.
