Kielder Observatory is one of the most inspiring places to visit in the UK—a public astronomical observatory and educational charity where unforgettable memories are made beneath the stars.

Experience wonders beyond imagination against the awe-inspiring backdrop of Europe’s largest Gold-Tier International Dark Sky Park. Whether you’re a first-time stargazer or a seasoned astronomer, our observatory promises moments that last a lifetime.

Overlooking the Kielder Burn and the North Tyne River before it enters Kielder Water, the Grade 2 listed castle was once a former hunting lodge of the Duke of Northumberland.

On site there is a visitor centre, maze, toilets and adventure trails!
