Kielder
Forest and Reservoir
|
|
| Kielder,
in the midst of the wilderness of the Northumberland National
Park, a complete forest created since 1926, with spruce and
pine trees, rivers and streams,and a huge lake.
Away from it all!. The forest is also a rally driving stage.
After the scenic drive to the lake, visit the information
centre at Tower Downe. Hire a boat, buy a fishing permit,
or take a cruise. Then go on to Kielder, or take one of the
many walks.
There are several viewpoints around the lake, on the southern
side, and marked walks. To get the northern side you have
to hike it.
