Astro spots in Exmoor/Somerset and nearby?

Hi,

I feel like the Bortle 4 still isn't enough so I'm looking for Bortle 3 at least, and they have some nice spots in Exmoor.

I know about Wimbeball lake but I don't really like it as you can't park overnight, unless you probably pay on the camp site, also a lot of trees etc.

I have found this spot on Ridge Road, seems like a good spot, anyone been there? (seems like the darkest, perfect clean horizon).

Also found:

1. "Frogwell Lodge Car Park" but it says temporarily closed on Google Maps.

2. Dunkery Beacon - Parking: https://imgur.com/a/Y0tdEGb

3. Deerleap view point (Somerset, Bortle 4, some trees): https://imgur.com/a/JoxwpxD

Perhaps someone is even interested in meeting up in any of these places to do some astro together? :)

 

Thanks!,

Pawel
