maP keythis cycle trail follows the former border Counties railway. it is an easy trail that takes you through kielder Campsite via the anglers arms (ideal stopping point for lunch or evening meal) before riding along the former railway line.once on the borderline simply follow the route, which stops at the scottish border just beyond the former deadwater railway station.the return is using the same route - riders will get a real feel for the former railway line, look out for remnants of the rail era along the way.the cycle trail goes through active farmland so dogs must be under control at all times and gates must be closed to protect the livestock.also well worth a visit (this time on foot) is a visit to the kielder Viaduct - for more information call into kielder Castle.once you have tackled the borderline, why not try lakeside Way which goes around the shoreline, for beginners the south shore between kielder and mirage art work is the easiest section to start on.
