Lakeside Way, Kielder

Completed in 2009 the Lakeside Way consists of a North and South shore. All together there are 27 miles of wide purpose built all weather trail which follow the entire shore line of Kielder Water in one massive loop. You'll find ups and downs and twist and turns but nothing too tough. This is a multi user trail aimed at mountain bikers, cyclists, horse riders, runners and walkers as well wheel chair and push chair users.

The Lakeside Way can be accessed from the various visitor centres and car parks located at either end of the reservoir as well as on it's South shore. There is a £3 charge for parking a car. The North shore lacks facilities which is worth bearing in mind if planning a visit. Using the South shore is advisable for those not wanting to complete the whole route.
