Greystead周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

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.

Freya’s Cabin is an enchanting wooden structure along the Lakeside Way, designed by Studio Weave in 2009 as part of Kielder’s Art & Architecture program. Constructed from 200 pressed wood panels, the cabin creates a fairytale-like forest, with integrated seating and a facade clad in shimmering gold metal—Freya’s “tears of gold.” The structure tells the fictional story of Freya and Robin, two lovers on opposite sides of the lake, trying to connect with each other through their architectural gifts. Facing Robin’s Hut, Freya’s Cabin invites cyclists and walkers to experience tranquility, wonder, and a touch of romance.

This curved wooden pedestrian and cyclists bridge takes you high above the burn and into the forest beyond

What a lovely place to visit

At this spot on the lakeside way, which encircles the whole reservoir, the trail leaves the shore of the lake to turn for a short distance up a burn. It then crosses it via this elegant suspension bridge and returns through forest glades to the water’s edge.

This is an elegant curved suspension bridge built to carry the Lakeside Way over the Lewis burn. The stretch of Lakeside Way where the Lewis burn enters the reservoir was perhaps the most challenging part of the track to construct. The Lakeside Way was designed to separate foot, cycling and other non-vehicular traffic from the C200, the public highway that runs along the south side of the lake. To achieve this at the Lewis burn, the track dips under the main road into the inlet, returning to the lake shoreline by again dipping under the main road on the other side of the river. To connect these two sections, an elegant curved suspension bridge was designed to carry the Lakeside Way across the burn at the first narrow point available.
