Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, Kielder Water & Forest Park including Kielder Castle cafe is now closed to the visiting public.

The health and welfare of the public is extremely important to us here at Kielder Water & Forest Park and the steps being taken by our partners are designed to help slow the spread of the Coronavirus disease, in line with government advice.

Kielder Castle Cafe is integrated in the ancient Kielder Castle, built in 1775 as a hunting lodge for the Duke of Northumberland. The cosy family run cafe serves locally sourced homemade food daily including breakfasts, lunches, snacks, soup and cakes.

Enjoy the open log fire, watch the live wildlife camera or the native red squirrels on the feeder outside
