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.

Port Mulgrave Harbour - North York Moors
The village of Port Mulgrave lies 9 miles North West of Whitby. The settlement here owes its existence to the ironstone mining industry of the mid 19th century. Little remains of the harbour these days. It was destroyed by the Royal Engineers during the Second World War to prevent it being used as a landing area by invading forces. The little that remains is a popular spot for local sea fishermen.
