However, if you are in any way, shape or form interested in what lies beyond our home planet, Sark is a place where you can really appreciate our dark skies. You don’t need a telescope to see the wonderful display of stars above Sark. You can see a host of stars and…

Sark is a walker’s paradise with some of the most beautiful walks in the Channel Islands.
