Midlands Star Trail locations near Shrewsbury?

[IanC]

Hi,

I'm searching for some decent locations to do some star Trail photography or wire wool spinning near Shrewsbury or further away. I have done Moreton Corbet castle which was good but I'm searching for more locations with good foreground interest

Thanks

With wales on your doorstep? Or Lake District is nicer!

Wales is an option, any suggestions?

Lake District is too far away considering I would only be devoting the evenings to it

Seeing this thread reminded me I've been planning a night at Moreton Corbet for far too long

Do you do any urban exploring?

I can't post a link yet as this is my 3rd post.

One thing that might help you in gauging how dark your sky is going to get is a website called Dark Site Finder. It shows the levels of light pollution that you are likely to have and thus how good you're going to get a nice dark sky.
