I loved it here! I felt free and happy. Love the birds of prey, loved the castle. We had a cup of tea outside & it was great to see & hear all the wild birds flying around.

Visited in March for a day mountain biking; first time in years since last visiting Kielder and had a fantastic day. Did the Lakeside Way Trail (26 miles) - fantastic biking terrain and beautiful location.

One of the world's leading contemporary artists, James Turrell, has designed one of his amazing "light and space" installations in Kielder forest, on the way up to observatory. Beautiful when silent - lie down and watch the clouds pass by, and experience the illusion of the sky floating below the ceiling.
It's a fair walk from the lower carpark, but...

2nd stay in Otterstone cottage which is wonderful. This visit with just husband and dog. Have also spent 3 or 4 holidays at Leaplish. So much to do around the area. Lots of walks around Kielder and the bird of prey centre well worth a visit. Kielder castle is nice and has a lovely cafe. There are many sculptures around...
