Ireland's loneliest wilderness, Wild Nephin National Park

PO1 Tony Holland From the description: “” The night sky is so unpolluted by light that it is home to Mayo Dark Sky Park, one of the world's few Gold Tier dark sky parks – meaning certain phenomena like the Milky Way and faint meteors are visible. There are three official dark sky viewing points – the most remote is at the Robert Lloyd Praeger Centre – and there are plans for an observatory and planetarium in the future. During a night winter lantern guided walk, Georgia MacMillan, the Dark Sky Park's development officer, explained how constantly being exposed to artificial light (even from streetlights) negatively affects our circadian rhythms and also impacts wildlife and biodiversity. And while the night sky views are amazing, even on a cloudy night, you might have a divine experience.”” Few people ever have the opportunity to see an uncontaminated sky as described here!

Nice! Bucket list includes a couple of weeks in an Irish country cottage.

Great share PO1 Tony Holland I find these "rewilding" projects very interesting though it looks pretty wild already.
