If you time your trip right, you can be in the Yorkshire Dales during the Dark Sky Festival. Across 17 days in February and March, the National Park celebrates all things celestial. Throughout the Yorkshire Dales, there are four Dark Sky Discovery Sites: Hawes and Malham National Park Centres, Buckden Car Park, and Tan Hill Inn.
On clear nights, you can see the Milky Way, an estimated 2,000 stars, planets, and even the Northern Lights at certain times of the year.
In the Hawes National Park Visitor Centre, you can park your car in the officially designated stargazing area and enjoy the night sky. Alternatively, you can wander a little further afield into the surrounding landscape to enjoy the stars from the hills.
Just be sure to bring a torch and some warm layers. A hot drink to sip while you watch for meteors might work well too!
