From my experiance in north Northumberland, you should get some sky glow

Carlisle.


If you know where to look and the conditions are right you can detect the
tiny sky glow from Carlisle. Curiously not Newcastle. Teeside on the other
hand produces at most an orange glow about 30 degrees wide and 30 high to
the SE.

If it's a clear moonless night the stars are just an amazing sight. The
milky way is just there, a band of light arching across the sky. You don't
need artifical light starlight is enough.
