People came and lived in this remote town to plant trees. Until now, forestry is a key industry, but people are making a livelihood from tourism. Kielder Water & Forest Park, Kielder Castle, and Kielder Observatory are the local tourist attractions. Finalize your itinerary after stopping by one of the three visitor centers in town.
