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.

"Cakes of Bread" - Peak District
The Cakes of Bread are named unsurprisingly as that is exactly what they appear to be, bread cakes in Derbyshire terms as you approach it from afar. It is a smaller outcrop than The Wheel Stones, but is far more striking, again formed by erosion, the locals have named these rocks and the names have stuck that well that they are actually shown on the OS maps.
