The majesty of Yorkshire’s national parks extends beyond just the stunning vistas visible during the day.
As autumn turns into winter and the nights draw in the skies will give up the secret above the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors. And this year stargazers will be in for a treat as a partial lunar eclipse will coincide with Yorkshire's Dark Skies Fringe Festival. Both national parks are designated an International Dark Sky Reserve, highlighting the importance of these places to the region. Only 21 places worldwide have received this recognition for unrivalled access to night skies.
The fringe festival, which runs from October 27 to November 5, will feature painting activities, opportunities to spot nocturnal wildlife, and special steam train runs. While there are also main headline events to look forward to in February. Events such as these are a timely reminder to people both in the region and beyond of how blessed Yorkshire is to be home to two national parks.
