Greystead Old Church

Greystead Old Church offers something few places can: your own private stargazing tower. This beautifully restored Georgian church sits deep within the Northumberland International Dark Sky Park, where a spiral staircase leads to a dedicated viewing platform above the treetops, giving you an unforgettable place to experience one of Europe's darkest night skies.

Sleeping up to eight guests, the Grade II listed church blends original stained glass, gothic architecture and spacious modern comforts with a truly unique setting. As darkness settles, climb the tower or head to the second viewing platform in the garden, where the Milky Way stretches overhead and thousands of stars fill the sky on clear, moonless nights.

With Kielder Water, Hadrian's Wall and miles of Northumberland countryside close by, it's an exceptional base for exploring by day before returning for evenings that revolve around the stars.
