Stargazing on Dartmoor

Thanks to its remote location and low levels of light pollution, Dartmoor National Park is one of the best places in southern England to see the night sky.

On clear nights the Milky Way can sometimes be seen stretching across the sky.

Best Places for Stargazing

Higher ground and open moorland provide the best views of the night sky.

When to Go

The best stargazing conditions occur during new moon periods when the sky is darkest.

What You Might See

Constellations, shooting stars and occasionally even meteor showers can be visible.

For guests staying in the countryside, simply stepping outside of Langdale Barn or Lodge on a clear night can reveal a breathtaking view of the stars.

Go upon Dartmoor for an even more spectacular view.
