The Poltimore Inn in North Molton is situated on the edge of the Exmoor National Park in North Devon. The Exmoor National Park was the first location in Europe and the second worldwide location to achieve a designation as an International Dark Sky Reserve in 2011 by the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) that now extends to 19 locations throughout the world.
“An IDA International Dark Sky Reserve is a public or private land possessing an exceptional or distinguished quality of starry nights and nocturnal environment that is specifically protected for its scientific, natural, educational, cultural, heritage and/or public enjoyment.”

As part of a unique location that has access to some of the darkest skies, with minimal light pollution and the best opportunities to star gaze, the Poltimore Inn now offers a unique star gazing experience that is unequalled in the UK.
