Type: Waymarked Trail
Kielder Keepsake is an entertaining interactive walk, distance 2 miles, walk time 2 hours, (for all the family). Once kitted out with Keepsake packs (available from visitor centres) the walk becomes an intriguing hunt for each plaque with the finished book of rubbings becoming the artwork to be taken home, hence 'keepsake'.
