Best locatoin for star trails.

Hi,
Just want to know where is the best location to go in the southeast and Cornwall to get star trail shots? I would like the least amount of light pollution. Thanks for any info

I think you have answered your own question, Eye.

You need somewhere very dark.

The "south east and Cornwall" is a very big area.

Thanks, thats my point. It's a very big area don't want to travel to loads of hills etc to find out it's full of orange sky. So just wanted to know where other people go in these two areas???

I'll give this thread a bump as I'm looking for similar info myself;

Googling found "dark skies" is a good search term to get relevant information and these links are quite useful;

For your specific question this looks useful: http://www.astroadventures.co.uk/main pages/dark sky map.htm
