The Boat Inn is a cozy pub and restaurant on the shores of Kielder Water, nestled in the heart of Leaplish Waterside Park. With panoramic lake views and a warm, wood-accented interior, it's a popular stop for cyclists on the Reivers Route. The menu offers a mix of British classics, vegetarian options, and local specialties—from fish and chips to wild mushroom risotto and sticky toffee pudding. The pub is dog-friendly, has ample indoor and outdoor seating, and is connected to the Landal Kielder Waterside resort, where the Osprey Ferry also docks.

The Lakeside Way runs beautifully parallel to Kielder Water here. Dozens of sailing boats are anchored off Wickhope. A magnificent spectacle.

Nice view

Kielder Castle is a charming 18th-century hunting lodge in Northumberland, built in 1775 for the Duke of Northumberland. Today, it serves as a vibrant visitor center and the starting point for numerous walking and cycling routes, including the famous Lakeside Way. Although the castle is currently undergoing renovations, the information center remains open and the surrounding facilities are accessible. It's an ideal base for exploring England's largest forest. It houses the Kielder Visitor Center and the Cafe at the Castle.

The Kielder Viaduct in Northumberland is a masterpiece of Victorian railway engineering from the 19th century, with seven skewed stone arches and an ornate baronial style replete with battlements and loopholes—custom-built for the Duke of Northumberland. Once transporting coal and timber to Scotland, it is now a monumental jewel on Kielder Reservoir, saved from demolition and reborn as part of the Lakeside Way: a scenic walkway. The viaduct is not only technically impressive but also culturally enriched with ornate wrought iron panels, designed by children and forged by local craftspeople.

This modest yet charming suspension bridge is part of the Lakeside Way, the walking and cycling path around Kielder Water. Suspended above the tranquil Lewis Burn, it offers beautiful views of the surrounding pine forest and the rippling water. With its simple steel construction and wooden deck, it is a prime example of functional forest infrastructure—perfectly integrated into the landscape. For cyclists and walkers, it's a lovely spot for a short break, a photo, or simply to reflect on the tranquility of the forest.
