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.

Hayburn Wyke - North York Moors
A hidden cove washed by the North Sea and backed by dense woodland through which tumble attractive streams. The word 'Wyke' is said to have a Scandinavian connection and denotes a narrow coastal inlet or bay. This is certainly the case along the Yorkshire coast where Hayburn Wyke; Cloughton Wyke and Blea Wyke all conform to that pattern. A steep sided wooded valley carries a clear stream to an attractive waterfall which plunges over a sandstone outcrop onto the shore.
