Join us as we head to the spectacular Cragside Estate in Northumberland to take on the renowned Hydropower Trail.

On Saturday 17th October, we'll set out to explore one of Britain's most remarkable Victorian landscapes as we venture through the spectacular Cragside Estate in Northumberland on an unforgettable Discover Pass hike, celebrating the launch of our AW26 Craghoppers x National Trust Collection.

Guided by National Trust Rangers, we'll follow the famous Hydropower Trail on a 7-mile journey through the heart of the estate, uncovering the fascinating story of the extraordinary house and its pioneering past. Along the way, you'll discover how hydroelectric power helped transform Cragside into a marvel of Victorian engineering while exploring a landscape renowned for its innovation, beauty and scale. As we wander through more than 1,000 acres of stunning countryside, expect breathtaking views, tranquil lakes, towering trees and dramatic waterfalls, all set within a landscape that feels straight out of a storybook.

Inspired by the natural beauty, inventive spirit and character of Cragside, the AW26 Craghoppers x National Trust Collection is designed for exploring the landscapes on your doorstep and beyond. Featuring beautiful fabrics, distinctive prints and versatile layers, the collection offers dependable comfort for country walks, woodland rambles and weekend adventures. What's more, 10% of net profits from the collection will help fund the restoration of Cragside's historic flume, a vital part of the estate's pioneering hydropower system that continues to maintain water levels today.

Combining science, history and nature, this promises to be a fascinating day of exploration and discovery at one of the National Trust's most iconic locations.

To secure your place, tickets are available for £5.00.

All attendees will also receive an exclusive Craghoppers goodie bag, including a Craghoppers badge and a National Trust gift card.
