"celebrating the landscapes of the British Isles through photography"
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.

Llyn Cwynch - Snowdonia
Llyn Cwynch is near Dolgellau and is part of the Nannau Estate and folklore says that the serpent who lived in the lake hunted both humans and animals, which it killed with its stare before eating them. However, whilst it was sleeping it was found by a shepherd who beheaded it. There is a cairn that commemorates the place of its death called Carnedd-y-Wibber (the Cairn of the Women's-milk-fed Serpent).
