Yorkshire (/ˈjɔːrkʃər, -ʃɪər/; abbreviated Yorks), formally known as the County of York, is a historic county of Northern England and the largest in the United Kingdom. Due to its great size in comparison to other English counties, functions have been undertaken over time by its subdivisions, which have also been subject to periodic reform. Throughout these changes, Yorkshire has continued to be recognised as a geographical territory and cultural region. The name is familiar and well understood across the United Kingdom and is in common use in the media and the military, and also features in the titles of current areas of civil administration such as North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and East Riding of Yorkshire.

Great experience - the passion and knowledge Chris and Martin had for astronomy and the site really brought it together. Whilst the site is a little rough-and-ready (arguably part of the charm) the kit is really good and you'll be able to see a variety of stars, planets and even deep-space objects like other galaxies. For groups I think it's great value for what you get. Do check the weather and do wrap up warm - if you book a cloudy night it will really impact what you see.
