Star Gazing in the Brecon Beacons

The Brecon Beacons National Park became an International Dark Sky Reserve in 2012. This is because of the quality of the region’s dark skies. The Milky Way is easily seen crossing the skies on moonless nights. Local accommodation providers offer plenty of “stay-and-gaze” options. The scenic landscapes make for amazing astrophotography opportunities.
