With minimal light pollution, big open skies and dazzling starry displays the Lake District National Park enjoys some of the best stargazing opportunities in the UK.
At Near Howe, we are lucky to enjoy uninterrupted views of the stars on clear, dark nights, being able to see the Milky Way in all its glory along with sparkling star clusters.
There are lots of things for families to do in and around the Lake District, from walking to swimming and local attractions such as a Wildlife Park and local museums.
