About This Event

The Downhill Through the Ages - EHOD 2026 festival brings a historical exploration of Downhill House to Mussenden Temple and Downhill Demesne in Derry on 13 September 2026. The event offers insights into the history of the 18th-century house and the eccentric Earl Bishop who built it. Admission is required for the festival.

Discover the history of Downhill House, which was built in the 18th century and now stands in ruins, and find out about the eccentric Earl Bishop who lived in this once grand family home. Perched on the clifftop, the Mussenden Temple was also part of the Downhill Demesne and is now a famous landmark.

Guided tour starting at 12:00 from Bishop's Gate — the journey will take you through Earl Bishop Hervey's gardens and his ‘castle’, with exclusive access to the clifftop Mussenden Temple, where you will hear all about its history.

Downhill House through the ages tells the story of a once-stunning residence that now lies in ruin, yet still retains the glamour of Georgian times. Visitors are invited to trace the house’s history and discover how the National Trust works to protect and care for this iconic site for future generations.
