Our name says it all. Stewton Stars Hideaway was created for people who love dark skies. With minimal light pollution and wide-open views of the night sky, guests can experience some of Lincolnshire’s best stargazing. On clear, moonless nights, the Milky Way can often be seen stretching across the sky.
A few things determine whether you’ll actually see the Milky Way:
- Clear skies are essential.
- Avoid nights around the full moon, since moonlight washes out the Milky Way.
- Let your eyes adapt to the darkness for 20–30 minutes.
- In the UK, the Milky Way is generally easiest to spot from late spring through early autumn, especially on moonless nights.
