Play

You really are spoilt for choice when you come out to play at Kielder Water & Forest Park.

For the adventurers, we have a range of water and land-based activities on offer, as well as great places to cycle, mountain bike and even ride horses. 

Discover the wonders of England’s largest Dark Skies Park, or the unique mix of tranquillity and exhilaration that only fishing can bring. Or you can discover the history of this beautiful part of the world, and the incredible Sky Den tree house, as seen on Channel 4’s George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces. 

Why not explore on one of the many walking routes, or take a look around our Art & Architecture installations, take in some of the best views Britain has to offer, or even take in some retail therapy? 

Or you could simply Go Wild, taking in our nature reserves, learning about the amazing wildlife and nature of the area, including species that have returned to the area, including water voles and ospreys. 

Kielder Water & Forest Park is also an ideal base for exploring Northumberland, Hexham, Cumbria, Hadrian's Wall Country and the Scottish Borders.
