Kielder Water, the largest human-made lake in Northern Europe, is the centrepiece of Kielder Forest Park, England's largest working forest. A stroll along its tranquil banks is hugely rewarding, while at night it boasts some of the darkest skies in the country. The nearby Kielder Observatory, which opened in 2008, takes advantage of this fact.
