I've both cycled and hiked around the Kielder which is just over 20 miles (32 km), depending which pathways you follow.

I recommend parking at Landal Waterside as there's a shop and a bar/restaurant which is perfect to end your activity. It's worth checking times as they can close early out of the season.

The lakeside path is very well surfaced but is probably more suited to a more leisurely ride. There are lots of interesting features and the scenery is breathtaking.

Kielder Water is a huge reservoir surrounded by Kielder Forest, the biggest man-made woodlands in Europe. Kielder Water was created in the 70s to supply water to Northumbria. It holds an incredible 200 billion litres of water. Farms and a local school were flooded to make way for the reservoir. It's also the location of England's largest hydroelectric plant.
