Exmoor Dark Sky Discovery Trail

Wellshead Lane, Exford, Somerset, TA24

Best time to visit

Opened in October 2021, the Exmoor Dark Sky Discovery Trail is at the very heart of the Exmoor National Park Dark Sky Reserve.

The trail offers a short route across open moorland to the ruins of an old farmstead. With low horizons in all directions and no single light to be seen, the views of the night sky are incredible. Parking is available for a handful of cars.

For more details, see the official Exmoor Dark Sky Discovery Trail website.
