Kielder Castle This is not really a true castle but a hunting lodge built by the Duke of Northumberland in the late 1780's. Originally it was in very open land but is now hemmed in by the Kielder Forest and very close to Kielder Water. There are several interesting walks from here, of varying lengths from less than a mile to more than eight miles as well as lots of cycle tracks / trails. One walk inparticular will interest very young children - the Gruffalo Trail.

The Kielder Viaduct The Kielder Viaduct was built to match the Kielder Castle with its false arrow slits and the "crenellations" i.e. the battlements.  When built it was in open ground but since then the Kielder Forest has been planted and grown up as well as the Kielder Reservoir has been built and filled which have both impinged on the viaduct. The viaduct itself is special as it is a skewed viaduct with the lines of stones set at an angle to the arches which made building it rather difficult.

The top of the Kielder Reservoir The river flowing into Kielder water at this point is the Kielder Burn. This is the most northerly of the various inflows.

The Angler's Arms public house The pub is at the very head of the Kielder Reservoir, It serves the small Kielder Village but presumably gets most of its trade from the tourists visiting the castle and the paths and cycle trails of the Kielder area.
