"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!!

We stayed at Calvert Kielder in order to explore the area. There is so much to enjoy. We cycled different sections of the 26 mile cycle path. Our 7 year old granddaughter coped so well on her first long distance rides. Our ten year old granddaughter loved the challenge of riding up and down the various sections! Add to that the various art works, the forest and lake views and it is a perfect venue for outdoor adventures

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.
