North East - Northumberland

Outside, their shared passion for landscaping and gardening was daring and engineered on a spectacular scale. There are towering North American conifers and great drifts of rhododendrons, as well as rocky crags and tumbling water. The house is one of the finest examples of Arts and Crafts workmanship in the country.

Note: Cragside is a place of adventure but not without its own perils. The main hazards are vehicles, uneven ground, slippery steps, sheer drops and water. Help us to look after you by wearing sturdy shoes and taking care when walking on the estate. Pedestrians and vehicles share the same route in places, so please be vigilant. Hop-on, hop-off courtesy minibus service between main facilities.
