"celebrating the landscapes of the British Isles through photography"
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.

Three Shires Head - Peak District
Known as Three Shire Heads because of the convergence of the three shires of Derbyshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire. In the 19th century counterfeiters, highwaymen and other ne'er-do-wells used this area as a base to evade capture as the police could only act within their own county limits. The two packhorse bridges probably date from Medieval times when packhorse ponies with pannier bags were used to transport goods, especially salt from Cheshire over the moors. Below the bridges is Panniers Pool, into which one of the falls tumble.
