Cragside House and Gardens

Reviewed By davidfJ2126DK - Liverpool, United Kingdom

Whilst we are NT Members and visited for free, I'm conscious that it is quite pricey for non-members (currently £13.00 per adult/ £38.00 per family for house and gardens). It is however, well worth the price if you make a full day of it! Extensive gardens, unique hydro-electric power system, remarkable house, great childrens play areas and a delightful 5-6 mile drive all within the site with numerous stop-off points to enjoy walks, picnic areas and lakeside views. The cafe/restaurant is not cheap but the food we had was delicious. Note that the House is not open every day - check out the national Trust for details and restrictions, especially during gthe Winter months. To fully appreciate the intriguing story of Lord Armstrong (the previous owner of the property), a visit to Bambough castle (not National Trust) is also highly recommended, and we found it really enjoyable and fascinating.

Crown Studio Gallery

Artist run Gallery, featuring landscape paintings by owner Lynda Taylor. The gallery also stocks fine quality work created by fellow artist makers as well as prints, homewares, jewellery and cards printed with Lynda Taylor designs. Accessible by wheelchair (using the gallery's portable ramp.)

This gallery is a must visit when visiting Rothbury! Linda’s art quintessentially captures the sweep and beauty of the Northumberland countryside. After driving through this lovely area, her art is the perfect purchase for bringing home mementos from your trip. Choose from stunning, full scale landscapes to simpler, more whimsical pieces. Ask about her husband’s pottery studio, PottedHistory, which is close by as well. Cheerio!

The Narrow Nick

A small friendly micro pub serving not just local handpull ales but wines, ciders and spirits including over 40 gins, set in the heart of Rothbury Northumberland.

Reviewed By Geebish - Cheltenham, United Kingdom

Unassuming from the outside, this pub has filled a shop in the town, and it’s fantastic. Always good ale on tap, and a selection of other pints, everybody will find something to drink here! A warm welcome to regulars and visitors, good dogs welcome, and because it’s run independently, the cost of a round won’t raise an eyebrow!!
