Night Under the Stars in the Yorkshire Dales
Why not book one of our cosy lodges or our cottage and enjoy a magical night under the stars? Take time to slow down, guide yourself through some easy-to-spot constellations, admire the vast night sky, and—if conditions are right—catch a glimpse of a Meteor Shower
.
This is a self-led stargazing experience, giving you the freedom to enjoy the peace and quiet of the Yorkshire Dales at your own pace. Located within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, an officially recognised International Dark Sky Reserve, this area is one of the best places in the world for stargazing.
With skies at their darkest around the New Moon, it’s the perfect time to wrap up warm, step outside, and enjoy the beauty of truly dark skies and a breathtaking natural setting.
Why the Yorkshire Dales is Perfect for Stargazing:
The Yorkshire Dales National Park is officially designated as an International Dark Sky Reserve, making it one of the best places in the world to experience the wonders of the night sky. With minimal light pollution, the skies are perfect for stargazing, especially during the New Moon phase when the sky is darkest, offering the best views of the Milky Way and distant planets.
