Wales boasts some of the best places in the world to go stargazing, with a number of Dark Sky Discovery sites and International Dark Sky Reserves. Make the most of clear, frosty skies in winter, or warm evenings of summer to enjoy the light show.
The Pembrokeshire coast and countryside, with its low levels of light pollution, is home to brilliant, accessible Dark Sky sites offering far-reaching views.
We have been working with Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority to have special places in our care recognised by the DSD as great and accessible spots to enjoy clear views of the night sky.
We hold stargazing events at Dyffryn Gardens near Cardiff, where Cardiff Astronomical Society have an observatory. It is a great opportunity to explore the sky with the help of more experienced observers and use some of the society’s specialist telescopes.
You don't need to be an astronomer to admire the night sky, just wrap up warm and look up. You're best visiting as part of a group – it's safer and more fun.
For access information and top stargazing and safety tips, visit the Dark Sky Discovery website.
