South Downs Dark Skies Adventure Walks
Experience the South Downs after dark with Pied A Terre Adventures. These guided evening walks take you into some of the National Park’s most peaceful and unspoilt landscapes, where the night reveals a different side of the Downs.
Led by a qualified local guide, you’ll discover the area’s natural history, geology and nocturnal wildlife while enjoying the tranquillity of walking under the night sky. Learn simple night navigation techniques, listen for owls and other creatures of the dark, and take in sweeping views across the landscape.
When conditions are clear, you may be treated to spectacular views of the stars, planets and constellations in one of the UK’s best dark-sky areas. And if the weather doesn’t cooperate, the experience remains just as rewarding, with the atmosphere, sounds and stories of the South Downs at night creating a memorable adventure.
Perfect for nature lovers, walkers, photographers and anyone looking to experience the magic of the countryside after sunset.
Join us in 2026 and 2027 for an unforgettable journey into the South Downs by night.
