Exmoor National Park · Astrotourism (Stargazing & Dark Sky)

Exmoor pioneered Dark Sky Reserve status in Europe, protecting moorland and coastal skies through community-wide lighting retrofits and public education. Regular star parties at designated sites attract astronomers from across the UK, while seasonal dark sky festivals feature telescope workshops and astrophotography training. The combination of accessible locations, supportive infrastructure, and surprisingly dark skies makes Exmoor ideal for beginner astrotourists.
