Walk - Kielder Dam to The Belling and Wave Chamber

Kielder Dam to The Belling and Wave Chamber

Type: Walking Route

From Hawkhope car park, follow the Lakeside Way along the north shore. En route to the Belling peninsula, the path skirts the historic site of Gordon’s Wall, thought to be the remains of a bastle enclosure. Following the signs for Wave Chamber, leave the Lakeside Way on the left and follow the track either to the left or the right, around the circular Belling peninsula to the headland. This is the location for Wave Chamber, which projects an image of the water onto its floor and is part of the art and architecture programme. There are stunning views at this location taking in the dam, valve tower, Tower Knowe Visitor Centre, Whickhope inlet and Bull Crag peninsula. The path from the Lakeside Way to Wave Chamber is not designed for leisure bicycles, wheelchairs or mobility scooters.
