🚴 EXPLORE THE FOREST
Kielder has miles of forest trails to explore on foot or by bike. Pack a picnic, head into the woods and enjoy the peace and incredible scenery.
🌊 KIELDER WATER
Take some time to enjoy the beautiful reservoir and surrounding woodland. Whether you’re walking, cycling, paddling or simply finding a quiet spot to enjoy the view, it’s one of the best ways to experience Kielder.
🦅 KIELDER WATER BIRD OF PREY CENTRE
A fantastic option for families and wildlife lovers, with some magnificent birds to see at Leaplish.
🌌 LOOK UP!
Kielder is famous for its incredible dark skies and, if you can get a place, Kielder Observatory offers an unforgettable night under the stars. ✨
🌲 OUR TARSET TIP OF THE WEEK
Sometimes the best thing to do is nothing at all…
Take a flask, find a quiet spot, switch off your phone and just enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the Tarset Valley. 💚
☔ AND IF THE WEATHER TURNS…
Don’t let a bit of Northumberland weather spoil the day! There are plenty of indoor and sheltered activities nearby, and sometimes a rainy woodland walk followed by a cosy evening back at the house is exactly what a break in Tarset is all about. 🔥
Whatever you get up to this week, enjoy exploring Kielder, Tarset and the beautiful Northumberland countryside.
