If your summer plans involve fresh air, big smiles, and muddy knees, then Kielder Forest is calling. This isn’t just a place to stretch your legs – it’s where little explorers can roam free, discover nature, and make memories that’ll last way longer than any screen time.
We know the trick to a successful family day out is keeping the kids entertained (and ideally, worn out by bedtime). That’s why we’ve made it easy with a whole heap of family-friendly cycling routes for all abilities. Whether you’ve got a fearless mini mountain biker or a first-time rider, the traffic-free trails at Kielder offer the perfect setting to let them find their feet – or wheels.
And for the tiny ones not quite ready to pedal? No problem. Our hire fleet includes kids’ bikes of all sizes as well as child seats and trailers, so no one gets left behind. It’s about time the whole family got in on the action, even the ones still in nappies.
Also, this summer, we’ve launched our brand-new Kielder Kids Trail Booklet. It’s packed with outdoor challenges, forest-themed games, and creative activities like colouring pages and a full sticker sheet. From spotting forest wildlife to ticking off landmarks around the lakeside, the goal is simple: get kids exploring, learning, and grinning from ear to ear. It’s hands-on, no-batteries-needed entertainment – and yep, they’ll actually enjoy it. Grab your trail pack at the tills!
And if you’re looking to level up the adventure, we’ve got you covered there too. Throughout August, we’re running a series of epic events led by British Cycling accredited coaches. Try a relaxed guided e-bike ride if you’re after scenery over speed, test your skills on one of our Ride the Red coaching sessions, or – if you’re totally new to this whole mountain biking thing – join our Introduction to Mountain Biking course. It’s the perfect no-pressure way to build confidence and pick up the basics.
So while yes, we do have top-quality kids and adult bike hire available right here at Team Cycles Kielder, what we’re really offering is the chance to get the family outside, burn off some energy, and maybe even inspire a lifelong love of cycling and the outdoors.
Skip the soft play. Come find fresh air, forest trails, and family adventures this summer.
Bike hire, forest fun, coaching sessions, and sticker rewards – it’s all happening at Kielder.
