About Mirage

The all ability trail leads you to the accessable Miarge art piece. Mirage creates a special place in the forest, where a five hundred shiny disks hang high in the trees in a three dimensional cloud, reflecting the light from the water and sky beyond the forest. A series of interlocking terraced decks and ramps underneath form a resting place for visitors pausing amongst the trees to enjoy the glittering sculpture.

How to get there:

Mirage can be started from Bakethin Weir in Kielder which is part of Kielder. Kielder is the nearest town or village.
