Stargazing
Exmoor and North Devon is renowned for its exceptionally dark skies, making it one of the best places in the UK, even for novices, to observe stars, planets, and other celestial events. Exmoor National Park was designated as Europe’s first International Dark Sky Reserve in 2011.
The Exmoor Dark Sky Discovery Trail is a designated route within Exmoor National Park and on a clear night the Milky Way is easily visible and it is an ideal spot to watch meteor showers. If you prefer to stay closer to your holiday home from home, find a cosy spot on the sands, lay down your blanket, and let the night sky unfold above you with its promise of shooting stars to the calming sound of the ocean.
