Dark Skies Accommodation in the Galloway Forrest Park
The 75,000 hectare Galloway Forrest Park is the first area in the U.K. to be awarded Dark Sky status. The extremely low levels of light pollution make ideal conditions for night gazers and star spotters.
The Bunkhouse at the Galloway Activity Centre are situated right on the edge of the Galloway Forrest Park. The Raiders road is just opposite us on Loch Ken and is recognised as one of the top viewing sites. You can literally gaze out your cabin window at the starry skies above.
