Visit sites. It looks like a friendly resource for all sarlovers. They have camps in spring. The Kielder Forest in beautiful Northumbria is a great place to enjoy an outdoor holiday.

The Kielder Forest, occupying 250 square miles and situated just where Northumberland brushes against Scotland, has the lowest levels of light pollution in the country - making it the perfect place to watch the stars. Here, far from towns and cities, where all that artificial light smogs up the skies, Charles Barclay, a young, London-based architect, has designed a gloriously inventive yet low-key observatory. It is a place where amateur stargazers and professional astronomers can share telescopes, viewing platforms, ideas and knowledge, beneath one of the most wonderful sights the country has to offer, as the sun sets on clear days and eyes adjust to the seemingly infinite expanse of stars above.</blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://www.kielderobservatory.org/index.php?module=My_eGallery&do=showpic&pid=44&orderby=titleA" href="http://www.kielderobservatory.org/index.php?module=My_eGallery&do=showpic&pid=44&orderby=titleA" style="font-size: 11px;">www.kielderobservatory.org</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.kielderobservatory.org/index.php?module=My_eGallery&do=showpic&pid=44&orderby=titleA"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.kielderobservatory.org/img/D86D3F3F-FFC9-499D-98FE-F55D101185AA" alt="Taken up at the obseratory on Sunday 30th March" /></div></blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://www.kielderobservatory.org/index.php?module=My_eGallery&do=showpic&pid=49&orderby=titleA" href="http://www.kielderobservatory.org/index.php?module=My_eGallery&do=showpic&pid=49&orderby=titleA" style="font-size: 11px;">www.kielderobservatory.org</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.kielderobservatory.org/index.php?module=My_eGallery&do=showpic&pid=49&orderby=titleA"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.kielderobservatory.org/img/7FCF8D3B-7639-43E1-80FF-07F74D31BA6D" alt="Stars arc around the pole star above Kielder campsite warm room.
