]]>This county in the north-east of the UK is one of its most isolated and under-populated. This means that it is an excellent place to enjoy the wonders of the night sky, the best months are September to January when the sun sets early, maximizing your chances of seeing shooting stars alongside the beautiful constellations.
This national park, situated in the north of the county of Devon, offers stunning moorland vistas by day, and beautiful night-sky panoramas by night. Bring a telescope if you have one, as the lack of light pollution makes observing the surface of the moon or other cosmic sights easier than in normal settings.
This is a truly special site. By day, look to the waves to spot rare marine life, including dolphins, pilot whales, and seals. As the night comes in, look upwards. At certain times of the year, meteor showers are easily visible. Many visitors comment on the brightness of the moon, when there are no artificial lights on the island. A rare and beautiful spot.
City-dwellers can forget about the majesty of the night sky, as so often the majority of the stars are obscured by light pollution. Take time to get out to a dark sky sanctuary and experience the beauty of the night sky yourself.

]]>Designated as a “dark sky park”, from this canyon you can experience sublime views of the Milky Way. There is next to no light pollution or clouds to dull the celestial scenes. The whole sky glows and makes you feel as if you were in another world.
The beautiful rock formations are ideal for adventurous hiking and climbing. But, because of the high temperatures and tall rocks, only very experienced rock climbers should attempt it and always with supervision.
The majestic lake shimmers below the great rocks of the canyon. During the day, it reflects the dazzling blue sky while at night it reaches itself up to the luminous heavens.
The site contains prehistoric fossils of primordial plants and animals as well as dinosaur bones.
The park is home to a number of rare plant species that are peculiar to the region. Among them are the desert marigold, the desert willow, rock nettle, and the candelilla plant.
