This live stream is aimed at people who want to check the night sky over the Northumberland coast in north-east England.

About Cresswell

Cresswell is a small village on the Northumberland coast, a few miles south of Amble and within easy reach of Newcastle. The area is known for long, open beaches, dunes and a flat, quiet horizon that suits sky viewing well. Away from the towns there is very little light pollution, which is why this coast is popular with people who photograph the stars. The landscape is mostly farmland and sand, with the North Sea to the east.

What you can watch

The camera is categorised as an aurora camera, so its main purpose is to show the sky above the coast. Depending on the view and the weather, you may see cloud cover, moonlight, or, on rare occasions, faint green or red glows when solar activity is high. The most interesting times are usually late evening through the early hours, especially in the darker months from autumn to early spring when nights are long and clear skies are more common.

Practical notes

The local climate is mild but changeable, with wind and rain possible in any season, so cloud can hide the sky at short notice. For the best chance of seeing aurora, aim for dark, clear nights in autumn or winter and check the forecast for geomagnetic activity. Nearby cameras include Embleton - Quarry - Northumberland Aurora Cam, about 30 km away, and Bamburgh - Budle Bay - Northumberland Meteor Cam, about 45 km away.
