Stargazing in Kielder is something to behold! On a moonless night, countless stars are visible due to very low levels of surrounding light pollution.
The region forms part of the Northumberland International Dark Sky Park, one of the largest protected areas from light pollution in Europe.
The best time to stargaze in Kielder is when there is no bright moon in the sky. Check our dark sky calendar for the best times to visit Kielder for astronomy and stargazing..
