Footbridge to west of Blackberry Crag. Single arched sandstone.

Subterranean concrete feature. Very little of it visible. Looks like it may have been a sentry box/watch house associated with the nearby pillbox (HER 1954) and Home Guard HQ (HER 1953).

House, later used as school. 1822 by John Dobson for T.E. Headlam (leading local Whig politician, twice mayor of Newcastle and important local surgeon). Extensive additions and alterations - porch dated 1897 added by F.W. Rich for Sir Andrew Noble (one of Armstrong's partners). Originally known as Black Dene, it was renamed Jesmond Dene House in 1851. Rock-faced sandstone with chiselled margins, ashlar dressings and plinth. Left range has upper-timber frame with infill of pebble-dash render. Tiled roofs with roll-moulded gable copings. Tudor style. 2 storeys and attics. Interior - typical late19th century magnate's house, eclectic and rich. Special features - Frosterly marble fenders, William de Morgan tiles on sitting room fireplace, Great Hall with elaborate Jacobean panelling and carving to chimney piece, and small staircase alongside in huge alcove, multi-moulded beams and joists to roof with corbelled arch trusses and central bosses {1}. Sir Andrew Noble, one of Armstrong's partners and a ballistics expert acquired the house in 1871. The extensions added for Noble almost obliterate Dobson's house. The rear wing was added in 1870-1, the rooms at the front 1875 and the billiard room, by Norman Shaw in 1885. The porch by F.W. Rich was added in 1897 {2}. Many distinguished guests stayed here, such as Rudyard Kipling and Baden Powell, Prince Hassan of Egypt, Prince Fushmie of Japan, Admiral Togo, Lord Roberts, Sir Henry Newbolt, Captain de Haviland. In 1918 Lord Beatty visited the house while in Newcastle to receive the Freedom of the City. Subterranean network of tunnels for cold storage under the house, later utilised as air raid shelters when the house became the HQ for the Home Guard during WW2 (see HER 1953). In the 1950s the house was adapted for use as a school for children with learning difficulties. 2004-2005 converted into a hotel.

Waterfall and sluice gate.

Weir of "stone steps" under footbridge (HER 5703).

Footbridge on boundary of the two estates (Andrew Noble and Armstrong).

Stone lodge house. Built between 1883 and 1898. Patterned stonework and steep sloping roof. Marks division between Andrew Noble's estate and Armstrong's.

Dressed stone retaining wall and buttress on slope above waterfall (HER 5698). Hidden by trees.

Sluice gate on artificially created waterfall (HER 5698). Leads to a tunnel under the rocks. Exits at the side of the waterfall. Ingenious method of "switching off" the water supply to the main waterfall to allow the water to run through the tunnel and exit down the side of the waterfall instead.

Artificially created "glen" to enhance the setting of Jesmond Dene Mill (HER 1402). The rocky bed of the Ouseburn was blasted away and a monumental range of naturalistic stones have been placed in the centre of the burn.
