Cragside, 
Rothbury, Morpeth

Cragside is a great Victorian Garden with one of the largest rock gardens in Europe.
Below the house and across the valley lie the 3 terraces of formal gardens. There are stone framed carpet beds which are planted for the summer and just below a dahlia walk.
There is a fine collection of conifers in the pinetum and a good collection of rhododendrons.
The walk through the gorge is an enlightening experience and the gardens continue to be restored.
Plenty of wildlife and you may see red Squirrels.

NT 2011 - House & Gardens open from 12th March. See Cragside website for full details.
