Unparalleled views, from an outstanding mixture of grandiose architectural splendour, estate management and lovelock folly.

One of the main jewels in Northern Ireland's location crown! Such a stunning building with an amazing backdrop. 100% would recommend this as a place to visit as well as the surrounding areas. ?

There are some wonderful views of the Atlantic Ocean and Downhill Beach from this location. The ruins are also worth visiting, although it should be noted that Mussenden Temple is currently closed to the public. My only two criticisms are, firstly, the fact that the trails particularly near the Black Glen Dam are very overgrown in places and, secondly, the £7.50 parking fee at the main Black Lion Gate carpark is expensive in my opinion. However, if you are a National Trust member, car parking is free. It is worth remembering that free roadside carparking is available outside of the Bishop's Gate entrance. The floral displays in the vicinity of the Bog Garden are also nice. There are plenty of picnic benches, a coffee kiosk and toilets in and around the main car park.
