Gaze in awe at the Milky Way, marvel at millions of stars and soak up the unique atmosphere of an evening hike on one of our Dark Skies Night Hikes in the Yorkshire Dales, a Dark Sky Reserve.

Our Night Hikes take place over the winter months so we can make the most of our nocturnal hiking experience!

We will head to heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, where there are exceptionally dark skies and a magnificent nocturnal environment.

All of our Dark Skies Night Hikes are guided by Mark Reid, a very experienced Mountain Leader who knows the Yorkshire Dales extremely well, so you can simply relax and follow Mark whilst marveling at the night sky above!

ENJOY…

• Amazing wide open skies of the Dark Sky Reserve
• Savour the outdoors at night under a starlit sky (hopefully!)
• Experience a nocturnal world out on the hills of the Yorkshire Dales
• Relax and enjoy the evening with our fully guided Night Hike
