unrated)With two small car parks and a picnic area Sidwood is at the heart of this delightful part of Kielder Forest. Some ancient trees and ornamental species remain from the old Sidwood Estate. This is one of the best sites in Britain for preserved peles or bastles (medieval fortified farmhouses). Some of these ancient monuments can be seen on the Reiver's Trail, one of the network of walking routes that start at Sidwood. These and other walks are featured in 'Walking At Kielder', cost: £2.00, available from Kielder Castle.
How to get there:
Greenhaugh lies north west of Bellingham. Once in Greenhaugh travel north through the village and continue for a couple of miles following signs to Sidwood picnic and parking place.
Greenhaugh Village is the nearest town or village.
