Kielder Observatory is an astronomical observatory located in Kielder Forest, Northumberland, England. It is situated upon Black Fell overlooking Kielder Water near the Scottish border, and is accessible from James Turrell's Kielder Skyspace via half-mile long forest track. The site was chosen due to its pristine night skies in a location free of light pollution with clear views to all horizons, and is considered one of the best places in the UK to view the Milky Way. The observatory's design is the result of a competition managed by RIBA Competitions which was won by London-based Charles Barclay Architects. The building is powered by solar panels and a wind turbine. It won the RIBA Award for its architecture in 2009 and also that same year a Civic Trust Award. More information...
