Dark Skies Map

There are lots of great places to enjoy the night sky in the Durham Dales and North Pennines National Landscape.

They are easy to find, and some have star maps in place to help you find key stars and constellations. Some have free car parking, 24-hour toilets and places to eat nearby. 

Some of these places have been designated as 'Dark Sky Discovery Sites' because they are especially dark. To find out more about each location, click on the map below.
