Tucked away at the top of Northumberland, close to the Scottish Border and Hadrians Wall, beautiful Kielder Water is the largest man-made lake in Europe. Kielder Forest, one of Britains biggest nature resorts, is home to red squirrels, deer and rare birds.
The lake fringes and forest glades can best be explored by walking, cycling or on horseback, and there are many self-guided trails. Activities for all the family, a variety of accommodation, easy accessibility and closeness to villages and Northumberland National Park are among the many attractions, making Kielder ideal for holidays or leisure pursuits, including fishing, boating, riding and watersports. For the business visitor, Kielder Water provides the ideal setting for unrivalled conference and training facilities.
This rich and varied landscape reflects the mood of Northumbria: a wild and romantic place to savour, a place to recharge the spirit.
