The field of
very high energy gamma ray astronomy has developed rapidly in the last decade or
so, driven largely by observations made using arrays of imaging Cherenkov
telescopes. These have proven to be extremely powerful instruments for the
investigation of the universe at energies up to many TeV. Recent very high
energy gamma ray observations will be presented and discussed in the context of
Dark Matter searches, Gamma Ray Bursts, cosmic accelerators and other
astrophysical concepts and phenomena. Prospects for the Cherenkov Telescope Array,
a planned future gamma ray observatory with a sensitivity an order of magnitude
greater than current instruments will be presented.
