A night of archaeology and stars in Cwm Eigiau. Join our Dark Skies Officer, Dani Robertson, and National Park Archaeologist, John Roberts, in Cwm Eigiau as they explore the rich history of this remarkable Welsh landscape beneath some of Wales’ darkest skies.

John also reflects on the powerful history of the valley, including the 1925 dam disaster at Llyn Eigiau and its impact on the community of Dolgarrog — a tragedy that reshaped the landscape and left a lasting mark on Welsh history.

From ancient traces on the ground in Cwm Eigiau to the wonders overhead, discover how heritage and astronomy come together in this special Welsh Dark Sky Week event 🌌
