Cragside was the home of Victorian inventor and engineer Lord Armstrong. It is now a National Trust house and grounds. In fact the grounds are huge ! There are several suggested walks around the grounds, and while we started one, we soon found ourselves wandering off left and right to see some of the other areas.
The grounds are so extensive there is actually a suggested car tour, with many car parks from which other walks start.
