Wild Redesdale, Northumberland
Follow in the footsteps of the Romans. Feel the soft, clean air on your cheeks. Hear the call of the moorland birds, the bleat of a wild goat or sit quietly and listen to the silence. In Wild Redesdale 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, drive or just read a book. There is isolation among distant hills or gentle strolls along tourist trails. There are numerous small lakes and loughs, as well as Europe's largest man-made lake, Kielder Water, where water sports abound.
Forest and field activities range from Quad Biking, riding and clay target shooting to organised walks searching for wild flowers or watching for deer and to art trails or a night of traditional music. And at the end of the day, relax in your holiday home, luxury hotel or find a seat by the fireside of a country inn.
