"celebrating the landscapes of the British Isles through photography"
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.

Buttermere - Lake District
Buttermere, which derives its name from a corruption of 'Boethar', a Norse chieftain who bestowed his name on the lake, is approached via the bleak Honister Pass. The lake, which is one and a half miles long , just under a mile across at its widest point, and over 90 ft deep, was divided from adjacent Crummock Water when a larger lake silted up at its centre. Fleetwith Pike and Haystacks can be seen in the background.
