- the largest man made lake in Northern Europe
- enough water to fill 2.2 billion baths
- the world biggest continuous cement pour = 10 days straight to create the valve tower...
and contributing nearly £10 million to the local economy.
I was lucky enough to get the full low down on the work of Northumbrian Water and the Kielder Partnership - both of whom deserve great credit for what they are doing - as well as getting the full tour. On every level Kielder is a sight to see and behold. After the meetings were over I campaigned in Kielder, Falstone and the surrounding area before holding another grilling session in the local pub; this event doubled as a joint surgery with John Riddle the local councillor. Spent the morning in Hexham and Humshaugh and home by 10 - a long day but well worth it
