Visit Hareshaw Linn and take a magical walk through an ancient woodland, crossing no less than six bridges to reach a beautiful nine metre high waterfall.

Walltown Country Park lies on the line of Hadrian’s Wall, near the village of Greenhead. 45 years ago, this site was a working quarry, where the hard whinstone was blasted with dynamite to provide road stone for the expanding road network of the early 20th Century. After it closed in 1976, the quarry was filled in and landscaped, planted with trees and flowers, and today is a haven for wildlife and nature. It is a place to relax, watch wildlife and feed the ducks, but you can also find adventure in its meadows and woodlands and get a real taste of the wild!

Formerly the hunting lodge for the Duke of Northumberland, Kielder Castle area is the hub for cycling within the Park. This is a great place to park and enjoy the gateway into the forest. It’s a superb walk for kids with the “Judith Donaldson” inspired trail encompassing lots of well known characters to include the Gruffalo! The Minotaur Maze is also great just below the castle. When you are on your walk look out for the viewing hide too you may see some of Kielder's wildlife including red squirrels, pipistrelle bats and roe deer.

“Had my birthday evening meal here. Wonderful food, served by friendly staff. Good beer, too. The pub itself is delightfully traditional in its décor and represents the perfect English pub set in the heart of the national park. Highly recommended!”

The restaurant is beautifully decorated with an up market vibe without being snooty and pretentious. The staff were lovely and the food is delicious. Loved the steak pie and the haddock mornay. They also have some excellent starters, loved the tempura black pudding in the peppercorn sauce.
