National Parks (UK and Republic of Ireland)
The UK has fifteen National Parks; ten in England, three in Wales and two in Scotland and we adore them all for their own unique beauty. From the water of the Lake District and the Broads to the mountains of the Cairngorms and Peak District and all the different landscapes between, all of the national parks are protected to ensure their beauty lives on for future generations to enjoy.
The Republic of Ireland has six national parks. The first park created in Ireland is Killarney found in Kerry county in 1932, and since then five more national parks have been created and the most recent ones being Ballycroy in Mayo county.

Windy Post Cross - Dartmoor
Windy Post or Beckamoor Cross is a cross set in place to mark the Abbot’s Way on its journey across Whitchurch Common from Tavistock. The cross sits near to Feather Tor, beside the Sortridge and Grimstone leat. It is believed to have been erected in the 16th century and its lean is probably more down to animals using it as a rubbing post than from what its name suggests.
