Robin Hood’s Bay Night Walk

Robin Hood’s Bay Night Walk

Sunday 5th November 2023 from 18:45pm to 21:45pm

Robin Hood's Bay Car Park
Robin Hood's Bay Road, Whitby, North Yorkshire, YO22 4QN

Join Large Outdoors for a fabulous walk from the iconic Robin Hood’s Bay to Ravenscar to experience the coastline of the North York Moors National Park, a designated International Dark Sky Reserve, by night.

During this 3 hour experience, you will wander in awe as you walk under a truly dark sky, switch off from everyday life as you absorb the feeling of remoteness from the towns and villages beyond and enjoy walking with an experienced guide and a group of fellow star chasers.

The moon will be the guiding light of this walk, allowing you to experience truly dark skies with seasoned professionals.

This event is part of the North York Moors Dark Skies Fringe Festival 2023.

Please note that this has already taken place on 05/11/2023

Event darkness

The Moon has a big impact on the visibility of celestial bodies in the night sky. Try to plan your stargazing when there is no bright Moon at night as this is when the skies will be at their darkest.

The below chart shows if and when the skies will be at their darkest during this event. Moonlight is shown in light yellow and the Sun's twilight in light blue. Midnight on the date shown is shown as a white line with sunset to the left and sunrise the next morning to the right. A black background with stars shows the best times for stargazing.
