Cresswell Aurora Sky Camera

An Aurora Window on the North Sea

Set at 55 degrees North, this Cresswell camera looks out across the open North Sea from the edge of the Northumberland coast. Its north-facing aim makes it a dedicated aurora borealis watchpost, framing the low horizon where the Northern Lights appear over Britain.

The Northumberland Shore

Below the vantage, a broad sandy beach sweeps along one of England's most unspoilt coastlines. The Druridge Bay stretch near Cresswell is prized for its quiet dunes, wide skies and low light pollution, conditions that also favour noctilucent clouds.

A Real-Time Sky Watch

An on-screen aurora-probability gauge and a live view let sky-watchers gauge their chances from anywhere. During the lightest weeks of the year the far north keeps a continuous glow along the horizon rather than true darkness, a hallmark of this high-latitude British coast.
