Stargazing in Northumberland Dark Sky Park

Stargazing in Northumberland Dark Sky Park

Find the best places to stargaze in Northumberland Dark Sky Park and enjoy the largest expanse of protected dark skies in the UK! The region covers an area of 572 square miles and, as a result, 96% of the park benefits from low levels of light pollution.

Here you will find some of the darkest locations in England. On Moonless nights the Milky Way can be seen stretching across the skies. It’s because of this that the region attracts amateur astronomers from across the country.

Stargazing locations include official dark sky discovery sites, observatories and plenty of stargazing-friendly places to stay.
