Exmoor is Britain's first Deep Sky ReserveThe Coleridge Way Cottages are ideally placed to observe the clear night skies as Exmoor is Britain's first deep sky reserve. We have no light pollution here - no street lights. no other buildings. In fact, the perfect place to gaze up at the sky. We have had two bookings so far this year expressly from star gazers who want to bring their telescopes.
Sky & Stags in Exmoor National Park Exmoor National Park has been designated an International Dark Sky Reserve, the first place in Europe to achieve this prestigious award and only the second in the world. The British Astronomical Association and the Royal Astronomical Society have both supported the bid with funding and local astronomy groups have also provided their support and knowledge. UK astronomer Steve Owens, chair of the IDA's Dark Sky Places Development Committee who has advised Exmoor National Park throughout the development process said: "I'm over the moon that the IDA saw fit to recognize the amazing night-sky preservation work done within Exmoor National Park by designating them Europe's first International Dark Sky Reserve. Exmoor National Park now joins a select group of places around the world - including Galloway Forest Dark Sky Park in Scotland and the Channel Island of Sark, a Dark Sky Community - which have stunning night skies, and now have lighting controls in place to make sure that man-made light doesn't spoil that view in future. The designation will hopefully attract stargazers from around the world, and astrotourism will become another staple attraction to Exmoor."
