Hiking
Kielder Water is the centrepiece of Kielder Forest and is the largest human-made lake in Northern Europe. The full lakeside trail is 26 miles (41.8 km) long and is accessible to walkers, cyclists and wheelchair users.
Awaiting discovery on the trails around its shores is a plethora of wildlife. Rare species, such as red squirrels, water voles and ospreys, are just some of the treats that lie in wait.
