20의 Kielder가지 명소 & 주요 장소

이 성스러운 작은 기념물에는 자전거 타는 사람이 무심코 지나치지 말고 잠시 머물러야 할 몇 가지 이유가 있습니다. 첫째, 교회 건물과 주변 묘지, 그리고 부지에 서 있는 'Bewcastle Cross'가 매우 조화로운 단위를 이룹니다. 둘째, 이 십자가를 보면 역사를 아주 멀리 거슬러 올라가게 되는데, 그 기원 시기는 7세기 또는 8세기로 거슬러 올라갑니다. 셋째, 그리고 가장 중요한(!) 것은 지붕 처마 아래까지 솟아 있고 위로 갈수록 약간 가늘어지는 오벨리스크의 예술적 디자인이 매우 주목할 만하다는 것입니다('Amy'와 'Joe'가 이미 그들의 게시물에서 이것을 설명했습니다). 제 개인적인 결론은, 비록 한때 오벨리스크를 장식했던 실제 십자가는 오래전에 사라졌지만, 여전히 주목할 만한 성스러운 작은 기념물이라는 것입니다!

St Cuthbert Bewcastle Church stands on the foundations of a Roman fort and has roots dating back to the 13th century. Although the current building largely dates from the 18th and 19th centuries, parts of the east chancel are still medieval. The church exudes simplicity and tranquility, with a rectangular plan and a wooden gallery on the west side. Within the church, traces of the Border Reivers' turbulent history can be found, including gravestones bearing names like Armstrong and Routledge.

Nice view

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.

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.

Lovely walk across the top of the dam and back again, easy walking

A great viewpoint at the end of the reservoir
