Mount Stewart

Full Description

Mount Stewart is a brilliant choice for a family adventure in the Ards Peninsula, with plenty to enjoy beyond a quick stop. It's the sort of place where you can take your time, explore together and enjoy a proper day out.

You'll find the magnificent gardens, woodland paths, historic house and colourful planting. Rather than rushing from one thing to the next, give the wee ones time to look around, spot the little details and make their own discoveries along the way. There's something lovely about combining a bit of exploring with a snack stop and some fresh air.

You can keep things fairly short with younger children or make more of an outing if everyone has the energy. Pack what you need for the weather, choose the parts that suit your family and enjoy a simple adventure together. Children have a Natural Play area to explore as well as a squirrel hide. The accessible lake walk is suitable for buggies and wheelchairs, with accessible toilets and mobility scooters available.
