We took friends and family up to Cragside House and let them bicycle around while we walked our dog, Bertie. Really great fun and good exercise too. The carriage drive around the Estate is amazing for sightings of extraordinary plants and trees.
Cragend Farm is the South-East edge of the Cragside Estate. Also originally owned by Lord Armstrong to house his prize cattle it borders the National Trust property along the carriage drive by Cragend Quarry and is right next door making visits by bicycle and on foot very easy, only 2 miles drive by car.
