Beacon Hill Dark Skies

Welcome to The Nightjar Bench on Beacon Hill

Surrounded by woodland and with a virtually 360 ° view of the sky, Beacon Hill is one of the best places in the National Landscape to go stargazing, as there is very little light pollution.

On a clear night the Nightjar Bench is the perfect place to sit and take in the beauty of the stars above. The bench faces south east and the month by month guide below will help you identify the stars and constellations you will see above you.
