Join us and an expert astronomer on our unique Ingram Valley Farm Sunset Safari.
Details
This special, limited edition, Sunset Safari includes all the favourite sections of the daytime Safari, with a journey around the the farm to meet the livestock, an off-road journey to view the prehistoric features in the landscape, then, we’ll head for an elevated location, Cochrane Pike at 1,100 feet (335-metres) above sea level and we’ll observe the setting sun and look out for elusive noctilucent clouds, a feature of summer sunsets.
Later on in the evening as the sun sets and with some big sky views, we’ll watch the sun go down behind The Cheviot and darkness will wrap itself around us. This Safari will be a first of it’s kind in Northumberland National Park and we are so excited to deliver this unique experience here at Ingram.
This Sunset Safari Experience will be offered in June, July, August and September 2024. The sun sets late up here, followed by a long period of dusk and as the night sky begins to wrap itself around us, we’ll pause to watch the stars appear and then make our way back down from the summit to complete the Experience.
You can buy something special to celebrate the moment, so you could toast the sunset with some fizz, or simply stand and stare and enjoy the moment. Please choose the Sunset Safari Ticket, look out for the dates and book well ahead to guarantee your places on this remarkable experience.
