Mount Stewart Visit

I paid a brief visit to Mount Stewart estate this afternoon.

I donned the wellington boots and went for a walk to the Rose Garden.

This part of the demesne is awaiting restoration, including the Dairy, the Vinery, the Rose Garden and the walled garden itself.

I could hear a brood of juvenile swallows in one of the outbuildings.

This splendid demesne is a property of the National Trust.

The gardens are superb.
