Our rugged landscape and challenging terrain means Northumberland is a mountain-biker's paradise.
Our county has a growing reputation in mountain biking circles, particularly the famous Deadwater Trails at Kielder Water & Forest Park.
The trails make for a bare knuckle ride and you'll get to experience some of the best views in Britain as you head down the 1,900 ft summit of Deadwater Fell.
This is not a trail for the amateur, it is full of technical climbs and rock drop-offs.
Kielder Water & Forest Park also boasts the Castlewood Skills Loop which features decking and bridges for you test your skills on before deciding whether or not the Deadwater Trail black run is for you!
If you want to get away from set trails and head into open country, try the famous Coast and Castles or Hadrian’s Wall cycle routes that offer rugged terrain and fantastic views.
The Reivers Mountain Bike Club is one of Northumberland's oldest clubs and organises regular rides throughout the year.
