Kielder Observatory

2-miles up a woodland track, high upon black fell in the remote reaches of Kielder Forest you will find one of Northumberland’s most spectacular attractions. Come nightfall, this area is bathed in inky-black skies due to the remoteness of the region and the large expanses of surrounding uninhabited landscape - enabling you the opportunity to witness the wonders of our universe like you’ve never experienced them before. Attending a stargazing session at this state-of-the-art, 2008-built observatory is an other-worldly experience and not one to miss. The observatory’s program spans night-time safari observing sessions to family events and astrophotography. It gets seriously chilly here at night, so remember to wrap up warm! Pre-booked tickets are essential and events sell out quickly so make sure to plan your trip well in advance.
