Graymtb:
Fantastic wilderness
All the trails have been improved with new surfacing and better lines and features in many places. Some of the climbs still demand the best your legs can offer, but the rewards are there with amazing views and stunning descents. A great variety of trails to both whet new appetites and further develop existing ones.
The low level multi user trails are the best I have come across and are a fabulous day out for any level of rider. Great for chilling and great for endurance training too.

Great all round trail centre
Kielder Water & Forest is a spectacular home for some of the best mtb trails in the North of England, with amazing scenery and a great sense of wilderness. The trail centre has an excellent variety and balance of trail grades with everything from leisurely green routes by the lake to leg-busting climbs and technical descents on the red and black routes. The blue route was the first trail I ever rode on mtb, and the wife and I still love a good blast around it! Some trails have been hit badly by wind blown trees and floods in recent years, but the FC and the Kielder Trail Reavers have worked really hard at restoring, and making some great improvements to all trails. Would highly recommend Kielder to any mtb rider!
