Wasdale Head Car Park - Lake District

Wasdale Head Car Park - Lake District

Wasdale, Santon Bridge, Cumbria, CA20 1EX

This car park quite possibly ticks all of the boxes for a stargazing expedition to the Lake District. Located in a valley and surrounded by mountains the scenery is breathtaking by day and the dark star-filled skies awesome and inspiring on a moonless night.  There’s a nearby pub and plenty of accommodation options including a well equipped campsite with electric hook ups for caravans, heated pods and nordic tipis.  Check this location’s dark sky calendar when planning your trip to make sure the skies will be dark when you visit!


Wasdale Head Car Park - Lake District is a Go Stargazing Site. The location has been identified by the Go Stargazing team as a good location for stargazing based on local light pollution levels, distance from nearby towns and cities and offers a safe place to park.
