Tan Hill Inn
Reeth, Richmond, North Yorkshire, DL11 6ED

England’s highest pub, the Tan Hill Inn, is an ideal location to spot the peak of the Perseids meteor shower!

The Perseids meteor shower is well known for being particularly bright and active, and at its peak around 100 meteors an hour can be seen streaking across the night sky.

The best views are reserved for locations away from light pollution; dark skies enable fainter meteors to be spotted.

Tan Hill Inn is a recognised Dark Sky Discovery Site and has fabulous views all round, the perfect location for spotting shooting stars.

There is no organised stargazing event scheduled; overnight camping and caravans are welcome!

Please note that this has already taken place on 10/08/2024

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.
