Over 10,000 trees have been toppled in National Trust sites after Storm Éowyn ripped through Northern Ireland and parts of northern England last week.
The Met Office has described it as one of the strongest storms to hit the UK in 10 years, and it was accompanied with a red weather warning.
Mount Stewart in County Down was among the worst affected sites, with gusts of 100mph bringing down an estimated 10,000 trees on the 900-acre formal gardens, estate and woodlands.
Shelia Das, the National Trust’s Head of Gardens and Parks, said: "Our ranger and garden teams are assessing the aftermath but it's already clear we've lost some very significant and precious trees, which is hugely sad. Mature trees, some with veteran qualities and important histories, give such character to our gardens and they connect us to the people who planted them, as well as playing a vital role in the ecosystems of our landscapes."
Most National Trust places are now back open, but the Trust is advising visitors to check property websites before setting out.
