Discover a landscape alive with nature
Stargazing
Experience dazzling nightly shows
Mother Nature’s nightly show is a breathtaking spectacle.
It is at its most majestic in the very darkest of skies.
Go deep into the wilderness, gaze up to the galaxy and feel closer to nature.
Nature that thrives when darkness falls. Sense it resting from the day, hiding from predators or hunting for prey.
You can see swirls of stars and marvel at the moon anywhere on the Norfolk Coast. But for the very best views, head to one of our four Dark Sky Sites.
Beetles and bats take over from bees and butterflies when they turn in for the day. By minimising artificial light, we’re effortlessly protecting nocturnal wildlife.

Dark skies and dorhawks
Kelling Heath is officially a Dark Sky Discovery site, one of the best places in England to see the stars as it’s free of light pollution. No expertise is needed to appreciate this heavenly sight. Just walk outside and look up.
Dusk on the marsh
