red squirrel
As the least densely populated county in England,
Northumberland has lots of room for wildlife. Our
county provides one of the last refuges for the endangered
red squirrel. |

birdlife
We also play host to a wide variety of birdlife including curlew, dunnock, goldcrest and skylark. A great place
for birdspotting is Grindon Lough, 2 miles away, which is a birdlover's paradise.

sheep
And if you like your animals a little more domesticated,
we have a flock of Ryeland sheep, one of the
traditional British sheep breeds; and some donkeys.

kielder
A little further afield is Keilder
Water & Forest Park site of England's largest
man-made lake and home to 50% of England's red squirrel
population as well as deer and many rare bird species.
A specially built observatory with wheelchair access
offers a great chance to view wildlife in its natural
habitat.
