Cragside is a Victorian Tudor Revival country house near the town of Rothbury in Northumberland, England. It was the home of William Armstrong, 1st Baron Armstrong , founder of the Armstrong Whitworth armaments firm.
His new house was called Cragside, and over the years Armstrong added to the Cragside estate. Eventually the estate was 1,729 acres (7.00 km 2 ) and had seven million trees planted, together with five artificial lakes and 31 miles (50 km) of carriage drives, and his demonstration centre at Cragend Farm Hydraulic Silo.
