Summary
| Description |
English: Clock tower in formal gardens, Cragside. This clock tower stands near the formal gardens on the Cragside estate near Rothbury, for many years the home of the Armstrong family.
The original house was built by the first Lord Armstrong, the Victorian inventor and industrialist, in the 1860s as a country lodge. Over the ensuing years, it was greatly extended into the present splendidly-ornamented Tudor style mansion, largely to a design by Norman Shaw. The house was the first building in the world to be lit by hydroelectricity. The house and grounds are now run by the National Trust and are open to the public. The estate is renowned for towering trees, massive rock formations, tumbling water and beautiful displays of rhododendron flowrs in spring. There is access along the six-mile drive skirting the estate as well as thirty miles of footpaths. |
