Situated a few miles inland from the coast and far enough from Bude to escape local light pollution it has wonderful facilities including observation pods each with a massive 20″ Dobsonian telescope which guests can use once they have completed some basic training.
Stay & gaze - this location benefits from dark skies, relatively low levels of light pollution, is astronomy friendly and suitable for stargazing breaks.
