There’s something truly magical about stepping away from the glow of city lights and into the vast, star-studded sky of the Brecon Beacons. Whether you’re a seasoned stargazer or simply love the idea of wrapping up warm and watching the universe unfold above you, there’s no better place to lose yourself in the beauty of the night sky.
A Dark Sky Wonderland
Since being designated an International Dark Sky Reserve in 2013, the Brecon Beacons National Park has become one of the finest places in the UK to experience the wonders of the cosmos.
With minimal light pollution and expansive, unspoiled landscapes, the stars shine brighter, planets reveal themselves more clearly, and even the elusive Milky Way can be seen stretching across the sky. Being one of the world’s first Dark Sky Reserves, it still remains a bucket-list destination for many who love the night sky.
Stargazing Through the Seasons
Each season in the Brecon Beacons and Carmarthenshire offers its own starry sights. On crisp winter evenings, there’s nothing better than wrapping up in a blanket with a hot chocolate and watching the stars twinkle above.
Spring brings the thrill of shooting stars, while summer’s longer nights are perfect for spotting the soft glow of the Milky Way. As autumn arrives, the nights grow darker again, offering clear views of planets and even the occasional glimpse of glimpse of a distant galaxy.
Every year, the region celebrates its Welsh Dark Skies Week, an annual event dedicated to appreciating and preserving these incredible skies. Though in truth, the magic of the dark skies is available all year round.
If you’re lucky, you may even witness the dance of the Aurora Borealis, a breathtaking sight and visible from many points and historical places across Carmarthenshire and South Wales.
