Britain's scenic drives

Alnwick to Kielder

Heading out of Alnwick, you'll soon come to a viewpoint with a panoramic view of the Northumberland coastline: south to Blyth and Tyneside, northeast towards the Farne Islands, and northwest to the Cheviot Hills. You'll see the Victoria railway viaduct at Edlingham, the the National Trust's Cragside forest. Passing though several pretty villages you'll reach Kielder Water, Europe's largest manmade lake.
