As an International Dark Sky Reserve, we are working to safeguard one of the UK’s darkest night skies - a place where you can still see the Milky Way, planets, meteors and even the Northern Lights. 🌌✨

A dark, star-filled night sky above a snowy landscape. Two bare trees stand silhouetted against the faint glow on the horizon, their branches clearly defined against the deep blue of the sky. The snow-covered ground is softly illuminated, with gentle contours and subtle tracks leading toward the trees.
Our annual Dark Skies Festival is a great opportunity to explore the beauty of the night sky in the Yorkshire Dales National Park Dark Sky Reserve. The Festival runs from 13 February to 1 March 2026.
