Did you watch Treasures of the national trust last night. We were delighted to see it was about Cragside. We'd only been there on Tuesday and believe me the video really didn't show the incredible carving above the fireplace. We also visited Wallington walled garden. The house is absolutely stunning inside and we'll visit both places often. There's quite a few NT properties in that area so we plan to visit each of them over the summer.
Been there also & loved it. That fireplace was the first thing I thought of when I saw your title "Cragside". The gardens & carpark were being refurbished when we visited, but luckily we were able to see the hydro plant down by the stream. Take care & hugs.
ReplyDeleteIt's incredible isn't it. It must have cost an absolute fortune to build.
DeleteOh that must have been nice to see it on t' tele having just visited Cherie :) x
ReplyDeleteI didn't see it but Cragside sounds a great place to visit.
