Witnessing the Northern Lights is a breathtaking experience, especially when shared with family. While many may think a trip to Iceland or Norway is necessary, Northumberland in the UK offers an equally stunning opportunity to see the aurora borealis. Known for its low light pollution, this picturesque location is ideal for viewing the lights during the autumn months, particularly September and October, making it perfect for families during the half-term break. For an exceptional stay, the five-star Matfen Hall hotel awaits, located just 15 miles from Newcastle. This family-friendly retreat features various activities for children and adults alike, including an adventure trail, a golf academy, and a relaxing spa. With special dining options for kids and fun workshops, Matfen Hall ensures a delightful getaway while enjoying nature’s dazzling light show.
