The location for anyone wanting to see thousands of stars in a dark sky
There are few places in the UK where you can clearly see the Milky Way and also the
Andromeda Galaxy with just your eyes. The Galloway Astronomy Centre is such a
place.
Located approx 20 miles south of the Internationally recognised Gold Award Dark
Sky Park at the Galloway Forest. Our beautiful night sky is free of light pollution
making viewing the wonders of the night sky an unforgettable experience.
One big advantage of the Galloway Astronomy Centre over other observatories is
after stargazing there is no travelling on unlit or icy roads, your warm
accommodation is only a short walk away.

Important
There is a change in Scottish regulations effecting all accommodation provides from
1st Oct 2023. We don’t know how this will effect us yet so we are not taking any
bookings for dates after 1st October until further notice.
Our caravan will be available should you wish to book that.
