Kielder Water and Forest Park (Northumberland) Reviews
Newest Review: ... walk from the Dam to Kielder Castle, which is at the furthest end of the lake, but be prepared for a long though scenic walk. We met very few people hiking, but many many families cycling the length of the lake. If you are taking the car, it is really only the left hand side of the lake that is accessible, as the main road runs alongside this side of the lake, with turn offs to the various locations and viewpoints as your travel. As I said, we started at Kielder Dam, where there are some information boards, as well as some lovely views of this side of the lake. You are able to drive across the dam, as well as walk across it, although on t... more

We spent this Easter break in the beautiful county of Northumberland in the North East of England.

Making the most of the lovely weather last weekend, I drove up to Kielder Water and Forest Park here in Northumberland. Fortunately this spectacular reservoir and forest isn't too far from where I live. It takes less than an hour to reach Kielder from Newcastle, so we didn't have to spend much of the glorious weather stuck in the car travelling. Kielder Water is northern Europe's largest man-made lake with a surface area of over 11 square kilometres and the forest is the largest in England. Therefore it may not be possible to see all Kielder has to offer in just one visit. I have visited several times over the years at different times of the year. It looks ... Read the complete review
