Mussenden Temple is a beautiful 18th-century building on the cliffs of the Atlantic coast in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. It is perched precariously on a 116-foot high clifftop, overlooking the wild beauty of the Atlantic Ocean. It was built by Fredrick Hervey, Bishop of Derry, as part of his estate and was used as a library.
The temple is surrounded by lawns, and the grounds are open year-round. The narrow winding pathways down to the cliff edge make the temple a popular spot for photographers and sightseers. This romantic ruin provides an amazing view of the coastline and the castles and mountains of Donegal and the North Coast. Visitors can also explore the nearby beaches and the ruins of Hezlett House, built in the 1600s.
