further afield. There are lots of outdoor activities to get involved in at
Kielder Water, including canoeing, sailing, horse riding and mountain
biking. Or follow Hadrian’s Wall for a day. The archaeological excavations
at Vindolanda still find exciting evidence that the Roman army once
occupied the area.
