Stargazing in Northumberland

The largest Dark Sky Park in the UK, a star-studded coastline that the Northern Lights have been known to dance over, dedicated observatories, and a number of dark sky discovery sites make Northumberland the perfect place to stay up after sunset.

As a haven for wildlife, Kielder Water & Forest Park will never fail to amaze you. With red squirrels, ospreys, and water voles calling the park home, beauty awaits you around every corner. Kielder is also perfect for those who want to stargaze.

Get away from it all in Northumberland National Park, one of Englands most tranquil locations. As the least-populated National Park in the UK, expect to discover peaceful beauty spots, lesser-known walking routes and untouched landscapes.

Fascinating sites, temples, and Roman bath houses are scattered along the 73-mile wall that dips and dives across the UK. This striking feat of engineering, impressive enough to inspire Game of Thrones, spans Northumberland's countryside.

Prepare to be blown away by the intense views of the North Pennines, one of the most remote and unspoilt places in England. This landscape of tumbling waterfalls and vast heather moors, where peatlands meld with ancient hay meadows, holds the double accolade of being a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Britains first UNESCO European and Global Geopark.
