Stargazing in Nidderdale National Landscape

Home » National Landscapes » Nidderdale National Landscape

Nidderdale National Landscape is a wonderfully scenic part of the Yorkshire Dales with rolling countryside and incredible scenery. The region benefits from excellent dark skies with several public dark sky discovery sites.

It is also home to the Lime Tree Observatory located near the village of Grewelthorpe which runs frequent stargazing events and will be opening a planetarium late in 2021.

Enjoy starry skies and go stargazing in Nidderdale!
