Star Spotting at The Green, Lastingham

5th Feb 2027

Escape to The Green, a beautifully renovated 18th-century cottage in the picturesque village of Lastingham, nestled in the heart of the North York Moors National Park. Sleeping up to six guests, this cosy cottage is the perfect base for a relaxing break and an unforgettable stargazing experience.

Lastingham is an official Dark Skies Friendly Community, situated within the North York Moors International Dark Sky Reserve. With very little light pollution in and around the village, it's an ideal location for discovering the wonders of the night sky.

As a Dark Skies Friendly accommodation provider, The Green offers guests a selection of stargazing equipment, including outdoor chairs and cosy blankets, red light torches, books and maps of the night sky, and a Dobsonian telescope to help explore the stars and planets above.

During the Dark Skies Festival, guests can enjoy peaceful evenings under the stars before returning to the warmth of the cottage and its cosy log burner. Whether you're an experienced stargazer or simply curious about the night sky, The Green offers a wonderful opportunity to experience the magic of the North York Moors after dark.

Please request the stargazing equipment in advance of your stay to ensure everything is ready for your arrival.
