点评:Cragend Farm & Hydraulic Silo
What an interesting place and very well worth a visit .
The Renwick family bought this historic farm and buildings 11 years ago and have been restoring it and investigating its long history, back to Roman times and beyond , ever since .
It’s an amazing insight into the past .
Once owned by Lord Armstrong as part of the Cragside estate - he used the farm to exhibit his engineering skillls and show the world how water power could be harnessed to make the lives of the farm labourers easier .
We spent 3 hours with Lou Renwick touring her home, the old barns, stables and the magnificent grade 2 listed silo .
Her passion for Cragend Farm is infectious.
It brought our tour to life .
If you visit Cragside House then you really must visit Cragend Farm as their history is intrinsically linked .
You can also enjoy this working farm with its rare breed animals and the magnificent surrounding countryside by staying on the farm in the beautifully renovated accommodation.
翻译:Cragend 农场和液压筒仓
真是一个有趣的地方,非常值得一游。
Renwick 家族 11 年前买下了这座历史悠久的农场和建筑,并一直在修复它,并研究其悠久的历史,可以追溯到罗马时代甚至更早。
这是对过去的惊人洞察。
曾经由阿姆斯特朗勋爵拥有,是 Cragside 庄园的一部分 - 他利用这个农场展示他的工程技能,并向世界展示如何利用水力来让农场工人的生活更轻松。
我们花了 3 个小时与 Lou Renwick 一起参观她的家、旧谷仓、马厩和宏伟的二级保护筒仓。
她对 Cragend 农场的热情具有感染力。
它使我们的旅行变得生动。
如果您参观 Cragside 庄园,那么您真的必须参观 Cragend 农场,因为它们的历史有着内在的联系。
您还可以在农场装修精美的住宿中享受这个拥有稀有品种动物的农场和周围壮丽的乡村风光。
