August 29, 2017

Harbottle Castle – Northumberland National Park

We are delighted that Drakestone Cottage has been accredited as Dark Sky Friendly!

Northumberland International Dark Sky Park was unveiled in December 2013. At 572 square miles it is also Europe’s largest area of protected night sky. Due to its pristine skies it was awarded gold-tier designation by the International Dark Sky Association, making it officially the best place in England for people to go to enjoy the heavens.

We have put together a beginner’s stargazing pack including books, binoculars red lens torches and a flask for guests to use during their stay with us. To find out more about Dark Skies, click here.
