Home to Ireland's first International Dark Sky Park, Mayo has some of the darkest and most spectacular night skies in the world, making it a must visit destination for stargazers. Set between the remote Nephin Mountains and the wild Atlantic coastline, this internationally recognised Gold Tier Dark Sky Park is the perfect place to experience the night at its finest.

On a clear night, thousands of stars, planets, the Milky Way, meteor showers and, on occasion, even the Aurora Borealis can appear. Discover some of the park's signature viewing locations, including Ballycroy Visitor Centre, the Claggan Mountain Coastal Trail and the remote Brogan Carroll Bothy. Whether you are exploring a scenic walking trail or simply pausing to look up, Mayo's naturally dark skies promise an unforgettable experience. Come and reclaim the night.
