How and where to see the Northern Lights over the North East

Many people think your best chance of seeing the Northern Lights is in Scandinavia.

However, between October and March it's possible see the Aurora Borealis in the UK. At least if the conditions are right!

Northumberland has low levels of light pollution, making it one of the best places to observe the Aurora in England. Whether you're inside the largest Gold Tier Dark Sky Park in Europe, which covers much of Northumberland National Park and Kielder Forest, or at Holy Island or Bamburgh Beach in the Northumberland Coast AONB, you might just catch a dazzling shot of the night sky aflame.
