Nearby Attractions: Kielder Water & Forest Park Kielder Water & Forest Park is an area of stunning beauty and serenity, home to Northern Europe's largest man-made lake, England's largest forest and officially the country's most tranquil spot, according to the Campaign to Protect Rural England. Take a stroll through dense forest, literally take your horse to water or hire a bike and explore the mile upon mile of purpose built trails. Kielder is a true walking, cycling and horse riding haven. Take to the waters on the Kielder Water Cruise or try siling & watersports on the miles of open water. The forest is home to ever-expanding mountain biking trails, including 13 outstanding technical loops packed full of berms, drop-offs and challenging singletrack.At Leaplish Waterside Park, waterskiing, sailing, wind-surfing and kite-surfing enthusiasts take to the water year-round, whilst fantastic fishing can be found on the lake or in Kielder's River North Tyne. Alternatively, check out Tower Knowe Visitor Centre and discover Kielder's history, from glaciation to gory Border conflicts with Scottish Reivers. Wherever you wander, there's surprising contemporary art installations to enjoy along the way and abundant wildlife, including red squirrel, deer and many rare bird species. Picnic spots and places to eat are scattered throughout the park, including the Boat Inn at Leaplish, Tower Knowe's Water's Edge Restaurant or the Duke's Pantry at Kielder Castle, a former hunting lodge of the Duke of Northumberland with impressive forest drive and adventure playground. Hadrian's Wall Country Hadrian's Wall Country is a spectacularly scenic corridor 10 miles north and south of  Hadrians Wall, one of Northumberlands great Icons and Britain's largest World Heritage Site. The most spectacular upland section of countryside can be found between Hexham and Haltwhistle as Hadrian's Wall traces the high contours of the scenic Northumberland National Park.This stunning, unspoilt stretch of countryside resonates with 2000 years of history. Touring Hadrian's Wall Country reveals how Roman culture imprinted itself upon the character of the landscape and shaped the charming towns & villages which sprang from Roman settlements. Highlights include the market towns of Corbridge, Hexham and Haltwhistle, where you can wander the picturesque streets, take a breather in a typically English tea room, discover local arts and crafts in shops and galleries and sample Northumberland's local produce at a Farmers Market.Exploring is easy. By car the A69 artery road will take you through the centre of Hadrian's Wall Country, starting just west of Newcastle upon Tyne and running all the way to Greenhead and Gilsland on the county boundary of Cumbria. This though, is famou walking and country. There is incredible variety to be experienced on foot or by bike and a number of companies will lighten the load by taking your luggage from point to point as you explore the length of the wall. An extensive network of unspoiled trails includes the long distance challenges of the Hadrian's Wall Path National Trail and Hadrian's Cycleway and shorter trails which take in the best persevered sections with fantastic views of this serpentine monument.  Northumberland's Castles & Historic Houses Northumberland's castles and historic houses are the place to discover both the county's battle-scarred history and the luxury living of wealthy landowners of bygone days.
