About Us

Location

Since 1981, our members have enjoyed sailing and racing on Europe’s largest man made lake in the heart of stunning Northumberland. For turn-by-turn directions to the club location use postcode NE48 1AU in your navigation app or refer to Google Maps:

Activities

Kielder Water Sailing Club is surrounded by a vast forest meaning that we are well placed for many activities including walking and cycling trails, so there is plenty to do on land as well as on the water. Our water activities include sailing, windsurfing and paddle boarding. Open water swimming is not permitted in the reservoir. We welcome new members of all abilities, whether beginners or Olympic standard.
