Dark Skies – Clitheroe Castle

From the winter constellation of Orion to the magical sight of a meteor shower and the fabulous sweep of the Milky Way, the skies above Bowland are filled with wonder – and look amazing when captured on camera.

The Forest of Bowland AONB Partnership and Clitheroe Castle Museum are celebrating the area’s celestial beauty with a special exhibition called Dark Skies. Launched at the fourth Bowland Dark Skies Festival in February 2022 local photographers were invited to submit their very own night-sky photographs for inclusion. The results are marvellous. Simply drop into the Steward’s Gallery and enjoy.
