Beautiful walks go from the doorstep through lovely nature, plus the local pub is just 1 mile away if you fancy a night off cooking. Water sports are available on Kielder Water. Located within Northumberland’s International Dark Skies Park, stargazing is a major draw here. If you want some help, however, visit Kielder Observatory (10 miles) for a guided session or event.
