Kielder Water- Reservoir & Forest |
Bellingham
Bellingham is a small rural
farming market town located on the North Tyne River as it wanders down from
Kielder Reservoir through the low moor lands south to the Tyne valley.
It once supported an
iron works the remains of which can still be seen at the start of a sign posted
walk up Hareshaw Linn to view the waterfall which can be spectacular after a
heavy rainfall.
Further
up the North Tyne river is Kielder Castle which was once a hunting lodge of the
Duke of Northumberland and now a forest information post and centre of tourism
for Europe’s largest man made forest and reservoir.
