"Far from the trappings of modern life, in a remote English village surrounded by thick woods, you can be fully immersed in nature—and a James Turrell light show. On the English border near Scotland lies the Kielder Forest Park, a 500-square-mile area of rugged forest, hiking trails, and large contemporary sculptures, including James Turrell’s Cat Cairn: The Kielder Skyspace."

Absolutely beautiful part of the country, great if you like the great outdoors. Would not recommend for anyone that struggles with walking any great distances but that said there are some gentle walks that are not to off the beaten path.

Absolutely love it so much to see and such a beautiful place. Other visitors seem really friendly too. It's really nice when people say hello and afternoon! You don't get that down south 😂. Instead you get verbally bashed. I swear northerner's are so much politer and just better people all round!!

Amazing drive out. Perfect for a weekend walk. Great activities and facilities. We will definitely be back in the summer when the forest drive and salmon centre are open.

Beautiful. Walks were lovely. The forest drive was great. Will be going back to do some biking, can park over night on the trail carpark £12. There was a pub next to the car park but we didn't go so can't say how good or bad it is.

Im a frequent visitor at keilder campsite, peaceful stunning location, a new shop has opened with some basics and sells sandwiches rolls made fresh to order, new owners of the anglers arms, has refreshes the pub, and serves hot meals, prices are resonible, as, are the beer and alcol drinks. With the cafe at keilder Castle now opened, it is, a must visit for cyclists, dog walkers, day hikers etc prices at the campsite for campervans and tents are really good value, and a great place for families and teens etc

Did the Kielder 10k run. The scenery is beautiful and the paths have excellent surfaces. The Waterside area is lovely with restaurant/ pub.

Sadly a cloudy night as we wanted to see the stars at night ..!! This was the most expensive wild camping night of our Northern Adventure. Would I recommend this as a place to visit … Of course but it’s going to cost you …. Unlike Ripon in North Yorkshire…Great overnight with lots of History… don’t miss the the Ripon Horn Blower … On wards 🚐
