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.

Insh Marshes - Cairngorms
Insh Marshes is an outstanding wetland of international importance covering 1000 hectares of the floodplain of the river Spey between Kingussie and Kincraig. From the great floodplain systems which once dominated the wide, often impassable valleys in Britain, Insh Marshes remains the last relatively natural example of its kind. Historically, flooding and grazing has played an important role in shaping the marshes, and this is still the case today. The site is internationally acclaimed and is particularly renowned for the number and variety of breeding waders, and the rich diversity of plants and animals.
