Kielder e-Bike Safari

Explore Kielder Forest & Water by e-bike

Brand new for 2025! We’re excited to introduce a new experience to the Wild Intrigue collection, the Kielder e-Bike Safari. Join your Wild Intrigue guide, and Abi from Bikes and Bird Hides, to explore Kielder Forest & Water’s wildlife by e-Bike.

Starting at Kielder Waterside, you will be guided on a 18km route along the Lakeside Way which runs through Kielder’s forest, woodland, grassland, and wetland habitats. This is the perfect way to discover the wildlife that calls this part of Northumberland home, whilst cycling amongst the dramatic landscapes of this corner of Northumberland. At the end of the ride we will hop on board the Osprey Ferry to return to Kielder Waterside, offering one final opportunity to spot the Kielder Ospreys on our return trip.

This experience offers the chance to discover a different side to Kielder, and to observe and hear about the area’s past, current and future ecologies – along with exciting rewilding and nature restoration project being undertaken, including local conservation success stories such as the Osprey, Water Vole and Pine Marten.

E-Bikes, helmets and binoculars are provided. The experience is suitable for beginner cyclists, Abi will provide guidance and instruction before we set off. The pace will be slow, with stop-offs along the way, to watch and discuss wildlife and habitats. The group size is limited to 4, plus 2 guides. The route follows well maintained paths throughout.

Please note that this experience is only suitable for adults, and ages 16+ who must be accompanied by an adult ticket-holder.
