YORKSHIRE has made a list of the best staycation spots for stargazing. There are currently just 18 recognised Dark Sky Parks worldwide and the UK is home to seven of them. Celebrated for their clear skies and unspoilt views of the night, Sweetcombe Cottage Holidays pulled together the most worthwhile trips. Two locations in North Yorkshire made the list. North York Moors National Park was noted for its landscapes, unpolluted night skies and the chance to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights. It recommended a stay nearby in the hamlet of Kettleness, which is just over 16 minutes away from the national park.
Wine growing could bring more business into Brighton and the surrounding areas INCREASING wine production could be one way of improving agriculture in the region, according to business bosses. Members of the Greater Brighton Economic Board backed the idea of a food plan which would support employment in the food sector, improve people’s health and reduce carbon emissions. Sussex has a large horticultural industry, supporting 9,000 jobs and generating £1 billion for the economy. A presentation to the board, made up of council, business and university leaders, suggested looking at how much of the South Downs National Park farmland could be used as vineyards.

THE chopping down of scores of trees in a Hampshire wood has angered local people. Men with chainsaws have spent several days cutting down mature trees at Woodside Caravan Park just off the A32 at West Tisted, near Ropley. Neighbours say the authorities have been alerted but nothing has been done to stop the destruction of around 20 acres. But this afternoon the Forestry Commission said it had launched an investigation into the felling. One protester said the new owner of the site was asked to stop but has carried on cutting down the trees. One neighbour, who asked not to be named, said the felling started on Saturday: The trees were felled over a public footpath which was not closed. When I confronted them for access and said you need a licence they threatened me by waving a chainsaw, saying this was their licence. The chainsaw was switched off at the time.
