Adventure for Everyone
Outdoor adventures and accessible activities in the heart of Northumberland.
Calvert Trust Kielder
The power of nature, available to all.
We’re Calvert Kielder. A unique and accessible holiday, outdoor activity and retreat centre set within Northumberland’s Kielder Water & Forest Park.
Rooted in accessibility
Accessibility isn’t an add-on here. It’s not an occasional ramp or an extra room at the end of the corridor. It’s the starting point for the design of our accommodation, the training of our team and the equipment we carry.
Because when inclusion is built in from the beginning, everyone benefits. Whatever your needs or abilities, this place is for you.
If you have any further questions, don’t hesitate to call us on 01434 250232.
