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.

Ana Cross - North York Moors
Ainhowe or Ana Cross is situated about ½ a mile east of Rosedale Chimney Bank on wild Spaunton Moor and has been a prominent landmark for hundreds of years. The original cross can be seen in the crypt of Lastingham Church, about 2 miles south of the present structure which stands at an impressive height of over 10 ft. This makes it the tallest cross on the moors but at one time it stood even higher, almost 30 ft high!
