Kielder Country Sport is a 325 acre estate situated in the heart of the beautiful  Nortumberland National Park.  Only 3 miles from Kielder Water and Forest Park.

The estate has a good blend of both mature and young forestation with a diverse mixture of terrain. The land has a teeming abundance of wildlife and offers various outdoor sports and shooting opportunities.

We are pleased to offer a selection of shooting opportunities all of which are advertised here.

For the coming season we are delighted to be able to offer Duck Shooting days to include a quality brunch. The shoot benefits from the use of our own duck ponds which are situated in close proximity to the Upper Tyne attracting wild ducks which augment the very well stocked reared ducks. The ponds which are situated some 300 yards from the river Tyne are fed up daily and as well as retaining the reared ducks attract the wild ducks that fly up and down the river Tyne.

Hospitality

Complementary cooked breakfast & freshly brewed coffee alongside lunch with a selection of hot and cold food & drinks.

The estate has glamorous tepee Glamping tents for hire. Photos provided by request.

The Black Bull Hotel located in Bellingham is the home of Kielder Country Sport. Under new management since 2022, with a fully refurbished county pub with rooms and restraint.
