Cragside has everything - a fabulous house, gardens and estate. We spent over 5 hours there, walking the grounds, watching birds from the hide, driving the 6 miles of the estate drive and so on. There is even an adventure playground to keep the children happy. There are 40 miles of signposted footpaths of varying levels of demand to explore... More

Can't believe we have lived less than an hour away from this place for 19 years and have never heard of it! Just wonderful. So much to do and see. It looks like Narnia crossed with Hobbiton. House is exquisite. Grounds Set out for everyone to enjoy by foot, bike, wheelchair or car. Lots of picnic places too and loads... More

Extraordinary testament to Armstrong, who conceived and built this place and made his own millions from inventing stuff. The same family owned Bamburgh Castle I believe. Another tremendous place to visit. They had to give Cragside to the government in lieu of death duties but kept Bamburgh. Amazing garden, on a well-named very craggy outcrop, as well as a fascinating... More

We joined the National Trust for Scotland in the morning and used the tickets (on mobile) immediately at this location. Lovely venue, great afternoon tea, wonderful house and history as well as superb gardens (not fully in bloom yet). A very popular venue with queues to get into the house. Check out the main claim to fame of the former... More

This is truely a wonderful place. The house is fantastic and the gardens are lovely as well. We spent around 4 hours here, so even though the entrance price is a little expensive we overall found value for money. A must see!

Although not members of the National Trust the entry fees were worth every penny (pound!).There is the wonderful fantasy of a house to visit - the fireplace - is just wonderful and crazy. Many interesting rooms, not least the kitchen, to see, although I thought the art was quite dull and surprisingly ordinary given that he was multi-millionaire.(However, there is... More

Amazing day and what a house and gardens, could easily spend the whole day there. Brilliant to go round, wonderful cafe and great people to answer any questions.

It's an interesting place, and plenty of beautiful walks but we felt over £30 for 2 people was a bit excessive. I think £10-£12 would have been more acceptable. It does have a variety of walks for all and lovely scenery and gardens. We were expecting more gadgets in the house itself though as it's advertised as so but we... More
