A Spring Visit to Cragside House in Northumberland
I like to visit Cragside House near Rothbury in early May to admire all the tulips in the Formal Garden. There was a great display but some of the flowers were still in bud and one of the flower beds which previously had tulips was planted with pansies this year.
