Britain's What's On Event Guide
Cragside
Heritage Open Day: Cragside is opening its doors for free for one day only. Step inside Britain's original smart and discover how a pioneering Victorian inventor, William Armstrong, harnessed the power of water to light the House. Cragside is a place where function and efficiency meet beauty and grandeur. Engineered lakes were sculpted into the rocky hillside to harness the power of water, while the Rock Garden and Pinetum were designed to create a fantasy mountain landscape.
A stroll around the flowering beds of the Formal Garden is a must. Experience some of the tallest trees of their kind in the country in the Pinetum and visit the Gorge, a dynamited ravine on the way to the Powerhouse.
Fri 13 Sep:1000-1600; Free Entry.
