Yorkshire City Set to Be the First Dark Sky City in the UK

York is on a mission to become the UK’s first Dark Skies City, aiming to combat light pollution and enhance stargazing opportunities for residents and visitors. Initiatives by York University are underway to make its main campus, Lord Mayor’s Walk, more conducive to night sky observation, providing an accessible alternative to the remote areas of the North York Moors. This endeavor coincides with the North York Moors National Park’s tenth anniversary Dark Sky Festival, where experts will discuss strategies for reducing light pollution in urban areas. Advocates believe York’s potential to lead in Dark Skies initiatives could attract more tourists while promoting sustainable lighting practices that protect both the environment and community well-being.
