Beautiful Dark Skies
Discover our stunning night time skies
Stars, Galaxies, Nebulae and Planets. All on your doorstep
Here in the stunning Shropshire Hills we are lucky enough to live in an officially designated Dark Sky area. Not a drop of light pollution. This gives us the most extraordinary view of the stars and the night sky on clear nights – definitely worth bringing your camera, binoculars or telescope.

Not to mention the Auroras…
Oh and when there is an aurora, that can be pretty special too
