Stargazing in South Wales

To find the best places to stargaze in South Wales, head away from the light pollution of Cardiff, Newport and Swansea. Instead, you could head to the Brecon Beacons International Dark Sky Reserve or Nash Point Lighthouse at Abergavenny. South Wales is a vast area with a low population away from the cities and offers lots of stargazing opportunities.
