Discover the delights of Kielder
Water and Forest ....


Tucked away at the head of the North Tyne Valley, close to the Scottish Border, lies beautiful Kielder Water with its 27 mile shoreline surrounded by the expanse of Britain's largest forest, this varied landscape reflects the mood of Northumbria; a wild and romantic place to savour, a place to recharge the spirit. The most tranquil place in England where beauty runs far, wide and deep, where forest and water unite to create one amazing year round destination and where there is no schedule but your own.

As well as offering stunning scenery, peace and quiet and wonderful wildlife, Kielder and its environs provide a wide range of leisure opportunities to suit the interests of every visitor.

The beautiful lake shoreline and forest glades can best be explored on foot, cycle, horseback or mountain bike where two of the best single track trails in England (differently graded) can be experienced. Guided exploration is provided by both the Forest Enterprise and The Northumberland National Park in their 'What's On' programmes of events and activities.
