Stargazing in Central Wales

Central Wales combines stunning scenery with magical dark skies. For the best places to stargaze, the Elan Valley International Dark Sky Park covers 45 thousand acres, and there are dozens of Dark Sky Discovery Sites dotted around. In the Cambrian Mountains, you’ll find plenty of spots to see the Milky Way, Saturn, Jupiter and meteor showers.
