Clear Sky Lodge Park is the perfect base if you’re looking to explore Kielder and the surrounding area. We’ve got Kielder Castle on our doorstep, and Kielder Observatory is just along the road. You’ll also see plenty of wildlife enjoying our land when you visit. You can pick up mountain bike trails from the entrance to the park. And there are miles of walks you can follow without needing to take the car.

We’re based in the Northumberland International Dark Sky Park. Our night skies are free from light pollution, so you can spend your evenings gazing at the stars from the comfort of your lodge. 85% of the UK popular has never seen a truly dark sky. At Clear Sky Lodge Park you can see one every night.

Kielder is located close to the border between England and Scotland. It’s home to the biggest man-made lake in Northern Europe, and the largest working forest in England. It takes just over an hour to get here from both Newcastle and Carlisle, and Edinburgh is two hours further north. There are loads of activities with the region. You can visit Kielder Castle, visit the observatory for some late-night stargazing, hire a boat and head into Kielder Water, or spend miles walking or cycling in the beautiful countryside.
