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.

St. Govan's Head - Pembrokeshire
Access, to the Head, is across a Ministry of Defence Firing Range, which is open to the public most weekends and also on public holidays. This limestone plateau was formed some 50 million years ago and supports a profusion of plants. The hard, dry rock and the challenging vertical limestone, make it a popular place for climbers. There are good views of Caldey Island and Old Castle Head from near the Coastguard Station.
