- **Event Description**: ✨ Night Under the Stars in the Yorkshire Dales ✨
Why not book one of our cosy lodges or our cottage and enjoy a magical night under the stars? Take time to slow down, guide yourself through some easy-to-spot constellations, admire the vast night sky, and—if conditions are right—catch a glimpse of the Lyrics Meteor Shower 🌠.
This is a self-led stargazing experience, giving you the freedom to enjoy the peace and quiet of the Yorkshire Dales at your own pace. Located within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, an officially recognised International Dark Sky Reserve, this area is one of the best places in the world for stargazing.
With skies at their darkest around the New Moon, it’s the perfect time to wrap up warm, step outside, and enjoy the beauty of truly dark skies and a breathtaking natural setting.

Lyrid meteor shower
The Lyrid meteor shower takes place between 14-30 April as the Earth’s orbit passes through the dust trail left behind, hundreds of years ago, by comet C/186 G1 (Thatcher).

This year, at the peak of the display on the night of 22 April, around 18 meteors per hour are expected to be visible.

The most spectacular are ‘Lyrid fireballs’, which occur when meteoroids the size of a large marble pass through the atmosphere. Their slightly larger size produces a meteor train which we see as a flash and line across the night sky.

The Lyrid meteor shower gets its name because it appears to radiate from the area of the sky near the constellation Lyra, the Harp - but the meteors can appear anywhere in the sky.

Each of our self catering accommodations have private outside patio areas so you can sit out, make your self a hot drink and enjoy the night sky. 
The Hive & The Warren lodges, suitable for single or a couple
Ingleborough view Cottage, suitable for a couple or two couples.

Two night stay from £260 and includes use of a Dark skies hamper, blankets, a red torch, themo cups, binoculars and hot water bottles. Star gazing books also available.  Download Starwalk2 free app for added support.
