Dark Sky Reserve
At Westerlands, within the South Downs International Dark Sky Reserve, one of only seven in the UK, you can experience skies largely free from light pollution. On clear nights, this means dazzling views of stars, meteor showers, and the glow of the full moon rising over the landscape. Of course, the weather is beyond our control, but when the clouds part, the night sky here is truly unforgettable.
