Wild Northumbrian is an incredible place to experience the dark skies of Northumberland International Dark Sky Park! Their accommodation options include comfy yurts (complete with wood burner), a treehouse and a traditional Northumberland shepherds hut! Chill out around the fire eating pizza cooked fresh in their stone-baked over whilst enjoying incredible views of the Milky Way arching across the sky — an ideal break away from city lights!
