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.

Bridestones Moor - North York Moors
The Bridestones and Crosscliff Estate covers an area of 1,205 acres and is a mixture of farmland, open moorland and woodland. Bridestones Moor – named after its peculiar rock formations created from sandstone laid down under the sea during the Jurassic period – it is a SSSI and nature reserve with typical moorland vegetation, including three species of heather, an ancient woodland estimated to date from the end of the last Ice Age, and herb-rich meadows.
