A NEW project is highlighting Wales’ three national parks as outstanding dark sky destinations, with opportunities to enjoy activities that reach beyond the traditional activities of stargazing and astronomy.
The Discovery in the Dark Wales website has been produced by the Brecon Beacons, Pembrokeshire Coast and Snowdonia National Park Authorities to help people discover the variety of dusk-till-dawn adventures that are available to residents, visitors and businesses.
The project has been supported by dark sky experts and local businesses, with the website including advice on how everyone can maximise the potential of the dark skies above Wales’ most cherished landscapes.
The Brecon Beacons and Snowdonia National Parks are designated Dark Sky Reserves while the Pembrokeshire Coast is home to a necklace of designated Dark Sky Discovery Sites.
The project was funded by Visit Wales as part of the development of the Welsh Government’s Partnership for Growth tourism strategy.
