Dark Skies Aires

[Augusta08]

I'm planning a trip to a dark skies area. I've got to self isolation for 14 days when I come back to the UK, which I will do at a house I've got in Chester, but after that I was thinking of a Dark Skies adventure. Wales or Scotland?? Any suggestions? We are well able to be off grid, but would also not rule out a CLor farm based halt.
TIA

Lots of opportunities in Dumfries and Galloway and a couple of small campsites around Port William which is handy for the Galloway Astronomy Centre (small B&B with a decent telescope) and there is the Galloway Dark Skies Observatory visitor centre too.

Kielder, Northumberland worth a look as well.

There are a couple of stopovers in the Keilder Forest listed on Search for sites and some of the "Stay the Night" listings will have no ambient light...

Everything you need to know about FLS' Stay the Night scheme where self-contained campervans can park overnight in some of our forest car parks.

Stonehaugh Campsite has one of the darkest skies in England, so it's a fantastic place for stargazing.
