Set Your Sat-Nav To Stargazing

Pippa-Marie SheppardTravel

Most of the UK is blinded by light pollution, yet there are still so many beautiful places in Wales that you can experience natural wonders under dark skies. From International Dark Sky Reserves, to Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, we have put together a collection of the most breathtaking, non-polluted places that you can visit.

Snowdonia International Dark Sky Reserve

Snowdonia is a popular destination for those who want to experience the stunning views on offer, but many are yet to experience the breathtakingly clear night sky. With minimal light pollution, Snowdonia is the perfect place to visit for star-gazers and space enthusiasts themselves.

Set your sat-nav to LL48 6LF

Abergavenny Museum and Castle, Monmouthshire

A Dark Sky Discovery Site, Abergavenny Castle hosts events, opportunities for stargazing and guides to the night sky all year round. With crystal-clear views of the above, we think Abergavenny would be a great place to visit this year.

Set your sat-nav to NP7 5EE

Nash Point Car Park, Llantwit Major

Although this headland on the Monknash coast can get very windy, its night skies are well worth the visit. Grab yourself a blanket, wrap up warm, and find a spot to settle down for a perfect night of stargazing.
