| The revolutionary home of Lord Armstrong, Victorian inventor and landscape genius, was a wonder of its age. Built on a rocky crag high above the Debdon Burn, Cragside is crammed with ingenious gadgets and was the first house in the world to be lit electrically. Surrounding the house is one of the largest rock gardens in Europe. Beyond this centrepiece is the vast woodland garden of Armstrong's transatlantic conifer collection. | | | | Set on a rocky hillside, Cragside is a place of adventure and 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 special care walking on the estate. Pedestrians and vehicles share the same route in places, so please be vigilant. Admission to the estate will be suspended when car parks are full. Hop on, hop off courtesy minibus service between main facilities and selected attractions | | |  | Group Visits
