Embark on an easy hike through the enchanting woodland scenery of Kielder Forest Park. This 3.7-mile (6.0 km) loop will lead you past ancient Scots pine and larch trees, creating a serene atmosphere. You'll gain a gentle 302 feet (92 metres) in elevation over approximately 1 hour and 38 minutes, making it a rewarding experience for most fitness levels. The highlight is the spectacular Hindhope Linn Waterfall, where water cascades into a moss-covered dell, offering a peaceful spot to pause.
You can easily start this hike from the Blakehopeburnhaugh car park and picnic area, which is conveniently located directly off the A68 road. The trailhead is well-signposted, and the car park also provides toilet facilities for your convenience. While the trail is generally easy, be aware that sections near the waterfall can be slippery, so sturdy footwear is recommended to ensure a safe and enjoyable outing.
Beyond the waterfall, the route continues to the intriguing Three Kings Stone Circle, a Bronze Age monument that adds a touch of ancient history to your forest adventure. This historical site offers a unique glimpse into the past, nestled amidst the tranquil surroundings of the forest. The Hindhope Linn & the Kings of Denmark Stone Circle loop provides a perfect blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage within the expansive Kielder Forest Park.
