Overall Rating
Good
Kielder forest lies away from the popular coastal route of Northumberland - calm and beautiful views. There were 3 main 'stop' venues on the west of the lake - each was 'accessible to all'. Each had an eating/drinking place and stunning scenery. I would definitely recommend including this area when visiting Northumberland.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
Accessibility had been thought of at the 3 venues. The pub at the 2nd venue (The Boat Imn) was accessible - however, there were signage problems for the accessible toilets on the day I visited - temporary, I was assured. It was a little tight, however, manoeuvering my powerchair in the large gift shop.
Parking & Transport
Excellent
We drove to each of the 3 stops....... car parks were easy to find, large with sufficient disabled bays.
Accessible Toilets
Good
All seemed to be comfortable - nothing to report.
Staff
Good
The cafe staff at ghe 1st venue were friendly but service was very slow. The staff at the pub were very friendly and helpful.
Additional Information
We happily spent about 4 hours at Kielder forest and waterside.
