Wild Redesdale

Escape to the distant hills

Follow in the footsteps of the Romans. Feel the soft, clean air on your cheeks. Hear the call of moorland birds, the bleat of a wild goat or sit quietly and listen to the silence. In Wild Redesdale, the first valley in Northumberland as you leave the Scottish Borders, you can escape from the sound of traffic and be just a little nearer to nature.



Your holiday here can be active or still, busy or idle. You can walk, run, cycle, ride, fish, learn how to shoot clay pigeons, go on a quad bike safari or just read a book. There is isolation among distant hills or gentle strolls along tourist trails. There are small lakes or there is Kielder Water, one of Europe's largest man-made lakes, where water sports abound.

Forest and field activities range from organised walks searching for wild flowers or watching for deer to art trails or a night of traditional music.

And at the end of the day, relax in your holiday home or find a seat by the fireside of a country inn.

To the north are the Scottish Borders and in every direction there are castles and stately homes to share a little elegance and history.

The choice is yours. We don't shout too loudly about the treasures of Wild Redesdale. We'd like you to discover them for yourselves.
