Or try the Brecon Beacons. Specifically, head to the car park at the top of the A470 near Storey Arms. It’s a government-owned dark sky site. Imagine that—the government doing something that’s actually useful. You just park, look up, and suddenly you’re gaping at a river of cosmic dust that’s been flying for 100,000 years. It’s better than Netflix.
Fun fact: The Milky Way is 100,000 light-years across. If you tried to drive across it at 70mph, you’d die of old age before you finished the journey. Actually, you’d die of boredom first. It’s a long drive.
