Any "dark" places around Nottingham ?   
Just starting with astronomy, and looking for dark sites around Nottingham - 
preferably without "doggers" ! LOL

Any ideas please ?

I'm from Leicester (boo!), so not sure it'll help much, but I find skies 
darker
towards E & SE and used google earth to find somewhere far from my city's
streetlights etc.  I would think the rectangular area between Owthorpe,
Langer, Harby and Hickling would be fairly dark for you.
