Discover somewhere magical, awe-inspiring and astronomical in Northumberland this autumn and winter with Northumberland’s Dark Skies Trails experiences. From beginners’ astronomy events to delicious Afternoon Tea by a crackling, open fire, there's plenty to enjoy in Northumberland in the colder months.

Keep scrolling to discover our dark skies

We have already seen an autumn of active auroras over Northumberland’s coastline and the Northumberland Dark Sky Park, and that was just the beginning. Discover the magic of Northumberland during the chillier winter months where dark, cold nights can be spent in a cosy pub in front of a warming open fire, or beneath the darkest skies in the country where the Milky Way can be admired with the naked eye. During the day, you can admire frost-tipped landscapes over afternoon tea tucked up inside the warmth of a cafe or tearoom, take on adventure activities and explore almighty castles.
