Stargazing and Taurids Meteor shower stay in the Yorkshire Dales

✨ Night Under the Stars in the Yorkshire Dales ✨
Why not book one of our cosy lodges or our cottage and enjoy a magical night under the stars? Take time to slow down, guide yourself through some easy-to-spot constellations, admire the vast night sky, and—if conditions are right—catch a glimpse of the Taurus Meteor Shower 🌠.
This is a self-led stargazing experience, giving you the freedom to enjoy the peace and quiet of the Yorkshire Dales at your own pace. Located within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, an officially recognised International Dark Sky Reserve, this area is one of the best places in the world for stargazing.
With skies at their darkest around the New Moon, it’s the perfect time to wrap up warm, step outside, and enjoy the beauty of truly dark skies and a breathtaking natural setting.
The Taurids are a slow and long-lasting meteor shower, occurring every year from late October and through November.
Even at their peak, the Taurids are not particularly frequent, but they do provide a sprinkling throughout the two months.
In 2025, the Southern Taurid meteor shower will be active between 10 September and 20 November, peaking on 10-11 October.
The Northern Taurids will be active between 20 October and 10 December, peaking 10 oct
What is the Taurid meteor shower?
Meteor showers are caused when the Earth travels through a cloud of cometary debris. In this case, the Taurid meteor shower is caused by the Earth ploughing through debris left behind by Comet Encke.
The comet stream is very spread out and dispersed, which is why it takes the Earth a relatively long time to pass through.
It is also why we see two separate segments of the shower: the Southern Taurids (10 September - 20 November) and the Northern Taurids (20 October – 10 December). The Northern and Southern Taurids are two fragments of the same debris cloud and they are similar in density, so the peaks are about the same.
