Dark Skies & Stargazing

Experience the night’s sky like never before on a Large Outdoors stargazing & dark skies experience or getaway.


The UK boasts many Dark Sky Reserves in its National Parks and National Landscapes, including the North York Moors, Snowdonia, and Yorkshire Dales National Parks. These areas offer superb views of the constellations, moon, and planets throughout the year.

We’re also home to two International Dark Sky Parks, including Kielder Water & Forest Park, designated as an area with “an exceptional or distinguished quality of starry nights and a nocturnal environment”. In other words, a location for some of the best stargazing experiences around!

With such a fantastic selection of locations for stargazing, we’ve made it our mission to help you get out and experience the night’s sky like never before. Whether you join us for a night out with our stargazing experts or a weekend break in Kielder, we’ll help you come away with a brand new appreciation for how beautiful the sky at night can be.
