Look to the skies as you surprise your senses and combine fine-dining with a star-gazing session in the Battlesteads Observatory. The Dark Skies area of Northumberland National Park has a ‘Milkyway’ darkness rating, so you can see the Milky Way Galaxy with the naked eye. Tantilise your tastebuds with a five-course taster menu of local produce, then explore the night sky. Learn about astronomy for beginners and how to spot and photograph the Northern Lights.
