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.

Glaslyn - Snowdonia
Looking down on Glaslyn - Blue Lake from the junction of the Pyg and Miners Tracks. It is found at approximately 2,000 ft above sea level in a cwm on the eastern flanks of Snowdon. Glaslyn is the source of the Afon Glaslyn, the major river of Gwynedd, which runs east to the reservoir of Llyn Llydaw, in the background, before turning south-west to reach the sea at Porthmadog.
