Cragside House
Close to Rothbury is Cragside House, late home to the Armstrong family who paid the price of being rich by having to give it to The National Trust in lieu of death duties. Cragside House is famous as its the first house to have its own hydro-electric generator and for the over 1 million trees Lord Armstrong planted. Brinkburn and Wallington Hall are also near to Rothbury.
Alnwick Castle
Alnwick Castle is steeped in history as the Dukes of Northumberland were involved in a lot of blood letting as the buffer between England and Scotland prior to the Act of Union. However in recent years Alnwick Castle has been most famously known for its appearance in the Harry Potter movies as Hoggwarts! There are many other castles in Northumberland some still inhabited but other just leave their haunted remains!
Alnwick Gardens
Alnwick gardens created by the current Duchess of Northumberland but a whole lot more tranquil than Alnwick Castle. Alnwick gardens are fascinating for the whole family.
