About

Kielder Water Birds of Prey Centre is at Kielder Waterside on the south shore of Kielder Water. It's home to a wide collection of birds of prey, from tiny screech owls up to a huge white-tailed sea eagle, with kites, falcons and owls in between.

Flying displays and talks from the falconers are the highlight, and visitors regularly mention how knowledgeable and enthusiastic the team are.

Good to know

It's an easy addition to a day at Kielder Water & Forest Park, a short walk from The Forest Bar & Kitchen and the start of the Bull Crag walk on the Lakeside Way. Check display times on the day before you head off.

A Little Note From Heather & Sand

We haven't quite made it here ourselves yet, but it's on our list!

We're working our way around Northumberland, personally visiting and reviewing as many of the places featured in our Listed section as we can. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

In the meantime, we do our homework. Before adding somewhere to Heather & Sand, we research it, look at what other visitors have to say and check that it has a good reputation. If the feedback isn't encouraging, it generally doesn't make our list.

Of course, a little online research is no substitute for muddy boots, a decent coffee and seeing somewhere for ourselves. So until we've visited, we'll leave the personal review to one side.

A little about us...

Heather & Sand is our little corner of Northumberland — a collection of places, stories, walks and discoveries from a county we love.

Through our Journal, Guide and Listed pages, we hope to help you discover somewhere new, revisit an old favourite or simply enjoy a little Northumberland from wherever you happen to be.
