What visitors say
Great centre information & video cam views of the Osprays nesting in Kielder area. Accessible from the paths that are around the lake. Friendly staff, immaculately clean toilets. You can pay for a parking pass here, that I would advise as it covers other car parks you may use. A lovely shop and cafe area.

The Tower Knowe visitor centre is situated in a lovely location overlooking the Kielder Reservoir. The visitor centre cafe is lovely and clean and if you want a nice cake and coffee it's good but the hot menu is very basic and restricted to a limited choice. No hot breakfasts / sandwiches sold here.
