Stargazing

About Stargazing

Join experienced astronomers and see the stars above Cardinham Woods.
Learn more about our fascinating universe with an informative slide show. We will then walk a short way by torch light into the forest to see the stars and planets through some very powerful telescopes.
Price includes tea and coffee.

How to get there:

Stargazing starts at Woods Cafe in Cardinham. Bodmin and Fletchers Bridge are the nearest towns or villages.

From Bodmin take the A38 towards Liskeard. 400 metres beyond the Carminnow Cross roundabout follow the brown tourist signs left and then left again into Cardinham Woods
