Discover Exmoor’s Dark Skies at Exmoor Camping Barn
In 2011, Exmoor National Park was proudly designated an International Dark Sky Reserve, the first in Europe. With minimal light pollution, clear nights here unveil a breathtaking display of thousands of stars, constellations, and celestial wonders, all visible to the naked eye.
Our garden at Exmoor Camping Barn, located at an impressive 1,000 feet on the eastern side of Dunkery Beacon, offers an exceptional stargazing experience. On special occasions, we’ve even been fortunate enough to witness the awe-inspiring Northern Lights dancing across the sky.
To enhance your stargazing adventure, why not hire a telescope from one of the National Park Centres? We also recommend downloading stargazing apps and charts to help identify the constellations and deepen your appreciation of Exmoor’s dark skies.
Whether you’re an astronomy enthusiast or simply looking for a peaceful retreat under the stars, our accommodation provides the perfect base for exploring the night sky in all its natural beauty.
