Dark skies in Upper Eden
WaW member, Kirkby Stephen, has been promoting their local dark skies experience for a number of years, including helping with children’s evening walks and creating an open space at Jubilee Park to the southern end of the town. This year they have produced a booklet giving information about where to view skies locally, what to look for and some easy night-time adventure walks for all the family. These are now available at the Upper Eden Visitor Centre and local outlets in time for the North Pennines AONB Stargazing Week 2020 at the end of the month and in time for the children’s half-term holidays.
