Nearby is the National Trust property of Cragside House & Gardens.
Built by the great Victorian industrialist Lord Armstrong, Cragside was the first house in the world to be powered by hydro-electricity. The house and gardens are open for visitors and you can easily spend a full day there
Just to the south of the village are the Simonside Hills. Heather-clad and popular with walkers and mountain bikers, the hills offer miles of tracks and footpaths which boast some of the very best views in the county. Simonside also hides some clues to past residents of the region in the shape of Cup & Ring marked rocks – rock art carved into the limestone by prehistoric people.

A short drive from Rothbury and you can head into the Cheviot Hills. Part of Northumberland National Park, these hills offer some of the most scenic and challenging walking and cycling in the country. “The land of far horizons” where you are more likely to bump into a wild goat than another person!
Heading east from Thisleyhaugh brings you to the spectacular Northumberland coast.
Quaint seaside villages such as Alnmouth, Craster & Bamburgh to the bustling ports of Amble and Seahouses provide the ideal day out and shopping trip. The coastline is both beautiful and varied with rugged cliff-top walks and golden sandy beaches to stroll and enjoy.
