Kielder Forest in England is the largest human-made woodland in the country. The town that was built as a settlement around a hunting lodge used by the Duke of Northumberland is about 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) from the border to Scotland. 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.
