The Dark Skies of Britain & Ireland: A Star-gazer`s Guide

This travel guide to the best stargazing spots in the UK begins by introducing the idea of astronomy and why it is such an enticing hobby. It then explores the history behind astronomy, the myths and folklore we associate with the stars, a guide to nocturnal wildlife, information on the issues surrounding light pollution, and practical information on how to stargaze safely and enjoyably.
