In the 1880s, Lord Armstrong of Cragside House, desired an opulent drive to be made for his carriage that he and his friends might be towed about his grounds in opulence whilst enjoying the landscape. Still, this 'mindbogglingly wealthy' dynamic has left us proles with a quite spectacularly lovely way of - er - enjoying the landscape; this is a fabulous spin back down into the town.
