Looking from the Bishop's Road towards the Mussenden Temple perched on the edge of a cliff. Portstewart, Portrush, and the headlands of North Antrim are visible in the distance.

"Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper, I love you,
Birds singin' in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of treats..."
