    Tips

    Kielder water is the largest artificial lake in the UK by capacity. Surrounded by Kielder Forest which is one of the largest planted and managed woodlands in Europe.
    The dam and reservoir project was completed in 1981.
    Kielder is now an industrail woodland and water reservoir. It's also a thriving multi sport activity centre with great running, mountian biking and walking trails. Partly due to the low population the roads are good and tend to be fairly quiet so it's a great area to cycle.
    The dam itself is a closed road with nice tarmac, great cycling and good views.

      Smoothly surfaced section of tarmac not open to vehicles, so you have a nice view of the dam and water
