Cragside, Tudor Revival country house in Cartington, England
The stone mansion features multiple architectural elements, including ornate woodwork, decorative chimneys, and extensive glass windows overlooking the Northumberland landscape.
Richard Norman Shaw designed this residence between 1869 and 1882 for Lord William Armstrong, transforming it from a small building into an elaborate Victorian estate.
The estate displays numerous Victorian technological innovations, including the world's first hydroelectric power system used for residential lighting in the 1870s.
The National Trust maintains five marked walking trails through the estate's 1000 acres, providing access to formal gardens, lakes, and woodland areas.
The property contains an advanced system of hydraulic machines that performed household tasks, including turning a roasting spit and operating an elevator.
