Up and Over
Experience two of the best single track trails in England and some of the best views in Britain.
Whether you choose the Deadwater red grade trail or the extremely challenging “Up and Over” black grade trail, you will be taking in the 1,900 foot summit of Deadwater Fell which straddles the English/Scottish border and gives sensational 360° views from coast to coast (on a clear day). The trail plummets from the peak back down to Kielder Castle on specially constructed single track, packed full of features.
Gary Forrest, world cup downhill mountain bike championship competitor, constructed this trail which should give you an idea of the level of skill required for this trail. This is a severe grade trail and only suitable for very experienced riders who are able to tackle this level of riding.
Up and Over is accessed from the red grade Deadwater Trail.
How to get there:
Up and Over can be started from Kielder Castle Forest Park Centre in Kielder which is part of Kielder. Kielder Village near Bellingham is the nearest town or village.
Kielder Castle is situated at the northern end of Kielder Water, off the C200.
