Kielder, EnglandThe Left Luggage Office is a stargazer’s paradise. This elegantly appointed apartment is situated on what was once Falstone Station, on the line that linked England to Scotland. It is situated in the pretty village of Falstone, inside the Northumberland International Dark Sky Park.
Most Britains live within densely populated areas where light pollution allows only a handful of stars to be seen through an orange glow. Here at The Left Luggage Office you can feast your eyes up to thousands of stars. Among the highlights is the Milky Way.

Other astronomical phenomena you can look out for during your stay include the Aurora Borealis (more commonly known as the Northern Lights), and the occasional spectacular meteor shower. These shooting stars are grains of dust from the tails of comets burning up when they enter the Earth’s atmosphere. To continue your stargazing odyssey there is the Kielder Observatory. This hugely popular attraction is located on the top of Black Fell, just up the road near Kielder Village, and is run by the Kielder Observatory Astronomical Society.
