The Kielder Forest is a vast area, mainly used by the Forestry for cultivating pine trees, including Christmas Trees, like the Nordman Fir.

​

There are Red Squirrels in the forest, however, they are quite secretive and we only saw one.  We also saw a wild dear, a couple of buzzards and a Red Kite.  Mostly we saw sheep and some Highland Cattle.

​

We saw Hadrians Wall at several places along its route.  I was surprised that it was not a lot taller.  The route it takes no longer signifies the Scotland/England border with Northumberland border being much higher up the map that the west side of Scotland.  

​

We did venture in to Scotland to Hawich and a few other villages and towns.  The countryside is lovely.
