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.

Loch Chon - The Trossachs
Loch Chon is a freshwater loch a little upstream from Loch Ard in the Balmacara Hills. Just to the south is the small hamlet of Kinlochard at the northern end of Loch Ard, and beyond the northern end of Loch Chon is Stronachlachar. Loch Chon is surrounded by the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park, which stretches east from Loch Lomond to Strathyre over mountains and hills, and in the middle is Heron Island. Near the southern end are the narrows of Linne Dhubh and Ceann Mòr.
