Mussenden Temple on the cliff

Last shot of Mussenden Temple, I promise! This one should give you an impression of how the temple dominates the scene at Benone strand.

We spent hours there today, and your eye is constantly drawn to this magnificent monument. It's a gorgeous place to spend time, and a much needed break after a tough week.

Mussenden Temple from the strand

We went back to Benone strand today and took some more shots of Mussenden Temple from the strand.

You already know that the temple sits on the edge of the cliff face, but there's also a railway tunnel that cuts through the rock face.

A few months back, we took a trip to a fair at Downhill Estate. I've been waiting for years to get a chance to see Mussenden Temple, a small round building that overlooks the ocean.

The temple is a part of the estate, and features prominently in any tourist literature to do with Northern Ireland. And so it should. The setting is breathtaking - right on the cliff edge - and the sight of the coast stretching out for miles. Well, let's just say it was worth the wait.
