>>2646342You'd definitely get a better night sky in Scotland (unless it's cloudy, which is very likely). Highlands are better /out/ than anywhere else in the UK and Ireland too.
Avoid the peaks if you want a decent night sky, they're sandwiched between Manchester and Sheffield.
North Wales has some good night skies. Snowdonia is probably the best /out/ in the UK outside of Scotland.
If you wanna stay near Yorkshire, go for the Yorkshire dales (or the Lakes if you want some nicer scenery)
Good luck lad. Bugs aren't TOO bad this time of year, it's starting to get a bit chillier
