Purple Mountain Bike Centre

The Kielder Bike Centre provides bike hire, including a demo fleet of top end Lapierre machines, and also runs training courses, guided tours, corporate events and mechanical servicing. It will open all year round.

Taking biking to new audiences has been one of our hallmarks and that’s what we aim to do in Kielder Water & Forest Park. We were bowled over by the new trails. There’s a massive amount of energy locally to make the venue one of the best for biking in the UK. A key selling point is the amazing wilderness feel you get when riding in the forest. It’s something you link with places like Canada, but which Kielder Water & Forest Park also delivers in abundance.

Kielder Water & Forest Park is home to the largest forest in England and the largest man-made lake in Northern Europe. It was recently voted the most tranquil place in England by the Campaign to Protect Rural England.
