Rothbury is a peaceful town in the heart of Northumberland. Close to the hills and the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it is an ideal base for explorations. You find a good choice of accommodation, places to eat and drink, as well as shops and other attractions within the town. One of the major attractions nearby is Cragside House, gardens and estate, former home of the Victorian industrialist Lord Armstrong. The house was the first to be lit by hydroelectricity.

Do not miss to visit Cragside House and Gardens (NT) in Rothbury, the most technically advanced house at its time.

Beautiful village with lovely local shops to look in. A great place to base yourself for a lot of walks around the area. It is also next to Cragside
