Beautiful Milky Way captured over iconic Dorset landmarks

A part-time Milky Way hunter has caught breathtaking night skies right on his doorstep. Stephen Banks — who moved to Bridport, Dorset, from Liverpool in 2011 — has spent the last six years photographing the Milky Way across the county in his spare time.

The 28-year-old marketing director hopes his shots of the Milky Way over Dorset tourist attractions such as Durdle Door will encourage more people to visit the area. (Caters News)
