About
This operational catchment stretches from the source of the North Tyne above Kielder to the town of Bellingham to the south east. It is dominated by Kielder Water (reservoir) and Kielder Forest Park (commercial forestry). Both offer excellent recreational opportunities as well as unique features, such as Kielder observatory in the Northumberland international dark sky park. The Salmon Centre at Kielder mitigates for the impacts of Kielder dam on spawning migratory fish.
