Downhill, County Londonderry : ウィキペディア英語版 | Downhill, County Londonderry Downhill is a small village and townland near Castlerock in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. == History ==
The area Downhill resides was formerly called Dunbo, derived from the Irish ''Dún Bó'', meaning "fort of the cows".〔(Placenames NI )〕 Started in 1776, Downhill was the romantic vision of Frederick Hervey, 4th Earl of Bristol and Bishop of Derry. The Earl Bishop created an elegant country house, called Downhill House, which now lies in ruins, and on the nearby clifftop he built the circular Mussenden Temple as his library, modelled on the Temple of Vesta. It is now a National Trust property.
