Coronavirus update. 

Having conducted a risk assessment and considering the close proximity of visitors to each other during the tours of the Spaceguard Centre it is clear that the risk of transmission of the virus is unacceptably high. 

As a consequence the director of the Spaceguard Centre has made the decision to cancel public tours of the observatory until further notice.

We apologise for any inconvenience or disappointment caused by this decision, but the safety of our visitors must be the overriding concern.

We look forward to seeing you once this problem has gone away!

We are easily accessible from the main A4113 that passes through Knighton, and signed from the main road just east of the town.

The Centre is about 8 minutes drive up Llanshay Lane. If you are using SatNav or online maps with our postcode, ignore them for the last couple of miles and stay on Llanshay Lane until you see signs for the Spaceguard Centre (about 1.5 miles). To open a local map in a separate window use this link.

There is a regular train service to Knighton, but it is a long walk from the station! A taxi is a better solution.
