For when the winter sun goes down and the darkness is upon us we feel compelled to retreat within the safety of our homes; closing out the nocturnal countryside instead of embracing in its enchantment. And yet, for the select few willing to break the taboo, the dark skies are a magical world.
Walk Yorkshire welcomes you to a 4 mile walk to the Kilburn White Horse that starts and finishes at Sutton Bank National Park Centre.
Once described by James Herriot as the finest view in England, what better place to start your dark skies adventure. Heading off across Roulston Scar, where ancient tribes dating back to 400BC roamed this impressive plateau. From the plateau, you will descend down to the famous White Horse of Kilburn, before heading back up to the top and across to White Mare crag where Sir Harry De Scriven met his fate one stormy night.
The group will meet at 4:30pm at In the Wilde Café at Sutton Bank National Park Centre before heading on the walk. When night time falls you will learn how to use the stars for navigation.
Tickets: £30
