Where is best to see the Buck Moon?

When trying to see a full moon, it is recommended to go to open, elevated locations with low levels of light pollution and clear views of the eastern horizon.

Northern and Western parts of the UK may have some cloud on Wednesday night, however, the conditions in southern and eastern areas are likely to stay clear.

In Bristol, Troopers Hill Nature Reserve in St George, Clifton Observatory viewpoint and Victoria Park between Bedminister and Totterdown offer high viewpoints.

For moon watchers in Gloucestershire, Cleeve Hill, Painswick Beacon and May Hill are high ground locations offering wide horizons and clear vantage points.

In Wiltshire, those searching for a sight of the moon can visit Avebury Stone Circle and Barbury Castle, which showcases a wide panoramic view of the night sky.

Glastonbury Tor, Burrow Mump, and King Alfred's Tower in Somerset also offer high vantage points where the moon can be seen plainly on clear nights.
