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. Benet's Abbey - Norfolk
About two miles south-west of Ludham on the banks of the River Bure is St. Benet's Abbey, founded on land granted by King Canute in 1020. At one time the Abbey was one of the wealthiest Benedictine houses in the country and was at the height of its prosperity in the middle ages.
