Ask Frank: Where can we go to see a meteor shower? Do you have a travel query that you can't find the answer to? Or just need advice on a specific destination? The Mail on Sunday's Frank Barrett probably has the answer... Sky life: Try out a telescope in the Brecon Beacons Question: Where can I take an astronomy-mad ten-year-old to see the Perseid meteor shower in August? Mark, by email Answer : This spectacular event is set to happen on August 12 and the Brecon Beacons National Park in mid-Wales says that, weather permitting, you'll get a great view in its 520 square miles of 'unruined' sky. Staff there have recently developed a Dark Sky Wales guide to promote the incredible views from the park, and on the night itself experts will provide telescopes so that visitors can witness one of nature's finest shows. Tickets cost 8 for adults and 5 for children aged ten and over. Booking is essential - for further information visit www.breconbeacons.org . There is a wide selection of accommodation in the area, including holiday cottages with telescopes that can be used by the guests. Even better, the owner of the Penrhos B&B hotel in Libanus ( www.penrhosbandb.co.uk ) has a PhD in astrophysics and offers lectures and evenings looking at the night sky. There's an observatory in the garden kitted out with a 30cm Meade LX200 high-tech telescope and it has a computer-control system to help visitors see as much of the night's sky
