Nature & creative activities

From stargazing to Reiki we have some wonderful ways to make your stay at Wild Northumbrian even more memorable!

Wildlife Walks & Tracking

Heather & Cain from Wild Intrigue offer a range of tracking and mini expeditions including bat nights with pizza and other exciting wildlife activities. Email them to find out more.

Stargazing at the Kielder Observatory

We are just a half an hour’s drive away from this amazing observatory, set in an area with some of the darkest skies in Europe. Take full advantage of the amazing starlit nights here and make the trip to Kielder Observatory. Book a place on the Kielder observatory website.

We can also arrange bespoke sessions with an astronomer on site – who can take you on a journey to distant planets and galaxies. Just let us know if you are interested and we can check availability – this experience costs £125-150 per night depending on the group size. Contact us directly for these experiences.

Wildlife Photography with Cain Scrimgeour

Capturing the beauty of nature isn’t just about the ability to use a camera; it’s about immersing yourself into the wild landscape, amongst the trees, grasses, ferns and mosses. Searching for those magical, and inspiring moments that we are privileged to experience, the moments that are destined to be observed and photographed.

Join Wildlife Photographer and Filmmaker Cain Scrimgeour at Wild Northumbrian to find these magical moments, learn the art of fieldcraft and immerse yourself in the wild landscape, to find those little natural stories, and gain an understanding of how to capture them.

Half day workshops £20.00 Adult/£15 child/£60 Family – minimum group size. Email Cain to discuss your requirements

The kids literally went wild playing in the stream and on the rope swing, at tea time spent cooking on the open fire followed by star gazing and hot chocolates. The yurt was romantic and had everything you need.
