Cragg side

I always thought that the people who have National Trust memberships are just nosey bastards who like looking around other people's houses.

Or sensible people who utilise the free parking in the lake district

Not much National Trust stuff in the north east tbh, you've already done the best one in Cragside.

Another vote for Fountains Abbey, although it's down thirsk/ripon way.

There’s easily enough to see you through a summer.

Get across the lakes, all the Beatrix Potter stuff is great if you have kids into that. Plus everything else that way.

Got myself a national trust membership last week and done gibside and cragg side this week.

Absolutely fantastic walks and views. Kids loved both. Be class in the summer

If you get chance google Linhope Spout Waterfall as well.....its about 25mins from cragside( great place in summer.)My kids are older now but still talk about summers days out in the relatively unlnown Breamish valley and swimming in the pool below the falls.
Cragside is a super place...sorry if seb but for anyone who likes running " free "10 k Cragside the morra..its tough route but the views and scenery are stunning!( its on once a month 3rd sunday on national trust website).
Pleased you liked it mate...gives employment to people as well in a relatively rural area.

Cragside, Gibside and Wallington are all superb. The play areas for kids are brilliant. I've been to them loads but have still not been in either of the houses at Cragside or Wallington. Kids just love it outdoors so much.

Was a member of English heritage for this reason. Loads of castles and Roman wall stuff to see.

I was once a member, think it was £30 for a year. All day parking in one of their car parks in the lakes was about £8 a day, saved the membership fee almost every month.
Never once went for a look around anyones kip

Some fresh air around high force today down to low force and back around to the hotel for a pint in the courtyard. Canny

You have to go to Cragside when the rhododendrons are out in early June. They are only in flower for a couple of weeks and it's bloomin' spectacular.

Been debating cancelling our NT this year because of the lack of places having done the main ones numerous times.

Wallington is nice at Christmas time.

I alternate between English Heritage and National Trust.

I was a NT member many years ago but thought that other areas got a better deal for their money as they had a lot more local sites

We done the same, I wish they'd combine the National Trust, English Heritage and Historic Houses memberships, so you could buy one membership and go to them all.

Get a new zealand heritage card. Access to national trust and english heritage sites for about fifty quid a year. Only downside is nee free parking. All the tight bastards on the martin lewis site do it.

Did a nice double header of cragside and wallington on friday, with a little stop off at the site of moaties last stand in the middle.
