All about Kielder Water
In western Northumberland, cocooned by the lush Kielder Forest, you’ll find Kielder Water, a large reservoir and haven for water-sports enthusiasts, especially waterskiers, canoers, and sailors. Kielder Water is also a respected fishing destination, and anglers will be pleased with the many spots to reel in trout, salmon, and Arctic char (don’t forget your fishing permit). Visitor centres at Tower Knowe, Kielder Waterside, and Kielder Castle provide information about the area. Walking and bicycling paths meander around Kielder, with the stunning combination of glistening water and dense forest creating its quiet beauty.
Tucked in the Kielder Water and Forest Park is the sleekly designed Kielder Observatory, which provides a spectacular viewing experience of the night skies.
Throughout the years, the landscape around Kielder Water has become home to an eccentric open-air collection of contemporary visual art and architecture.
