Deer Park Archers is a sports and recreation club located south of Cheltenham. Being away from the worst effects of light pollution from Cheltenham and Gloucester makes this a good location for stargazing events hosted by the Cotswold Astronomical Society. The group hosts their regular monthly meetings and telescopes at this location since early 2023.
