On Sunday 4 March BBC Countryfile will air the episode Water Compliation partly filmed at Kielder Water & Forest Park.

Presenter Helen Skelton was at Kielder Water in Northumberland, exploring the ways in which the wet stuff shapes our lives. There is also a meander through the archives, dipping a toe into previous watery worlds to which Countryfile has been.












Calvert Trust Kielder will also be featured in the episode, as Helen meets our guests aboard Happy Days, our accessible motor cruiser. Helen spoke with some of our regular respite guests during their afternoon out on the water.
