Worth Hill Observatory (UK)

Worth Hill Observatory is a privately owned observatory on the South Dorset Coast U.K. with dark skies and an excellent horizon. For more information about the observatory take a look here.

As I have now relocated to Devon, this webpage will no longer be updated (webspace is full). To keep in touch please follow this link for latest news and images.
