LocationFalstone, UK

Kielder Water is a large man-made reservoir in Northumberland in North East England. It is the largest artificial lake in the United Kingdom by capacity of water and it is surrounded by Kielder Forest, one of the biggest man-made woodlands in Europe. The scheme was planned in the late 1960s to satisfy an expected rise in demand for water to support a booming UK industrial economy.

Kielder Water is owned by Northumbrian Water, and holds 200 billion litres, making it the largest artificial reservoir in the UK by capacity. It has a 27.5-mile shoreline, and is 24.6 miles from the sea.
