Richard Darn

Richard Darn helped Northumberland, North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales national parks all become international dark sky areas over the past ten years. He has numerous TV and radio appearances to his credit, but at heart remains a stargazer who loves to share his passion for the heavens. He has staged hundreds of public astronomy events across Britain. He also co-founded the Kielder Forest Star Camp and provides expertise to other dark landscapes including the North Pennines, Norfolk Coast and Cranborne Chase AONBs, along with Exmoor National Park and the Friends of the Lake District.
