We’ll send you a reminder to see if you want it or not so you won’t lose out. Take time to think it over, you don’t have to rush your decision. Have a cup of tea and when you’re ready, hit the button to book your holiday and start looking forward to it.
From the Cornish coast and moorland and the wilds of Exmoor National Park to the unspoilt landscapes of Northumberland National Park and the magic of the Isle of Skye (where you might even spot the Northern Lights!), these special stargazing locations are sure to make a holiday to remember. Autumn and winter are particularly magical for stargazing holidays; prepare a hot chocolate in a flask, wrap up warm, and enjoy. And do not forget to read our guide to Dark Sky Sites in the UK to brush up on your cosmic knowledge beforehand!
