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.

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.
