Rose Arbour And Terrace Wall To East Of Cragside Park House

The rose arbour and terrace wall, located to the east of Cragside Park House, were built in the third quarter of the 19th century. The rose arbour is made of cast iron and features a wall constructed from snecked tooled stone with ashlar coping. The arbour measures seven bays wide and two bays deep, with the rear half formed by a central recess in the terrace wall. It has round columns with moulded caps and bases that support segmental arches, the central arch being wider. The spandrels are pierced, and there is a small quatrefoil above the center of the arch, along with a moulded cornice that is broken forward around the pilasters above the columns. At the back, the arches rest directly on the flat coping of the wall. The east end arch and the rear still have wooden trellis infill, and remnants of a hipped roof, which was once glazed, can also be seen. The terrace wall features a dogleg flight of steps at each end.
