Yorkshire stargazing: Best places in the region to look at the stars on a clear night according to astrological experts

The best environment for best optimal viewing of stars is a large empty field and luckily Yorkshire has plenty of such locations.

It’s recommended to pick an isolated spot away from light sources such as street lights. Below is a list of places suggested by stargazing experts on the Go Stargazing website.
