"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.

Pentre Ifan - Pembrokeshire
As it now stands, the Pentre Ifan Dolmen is a collection of 7 principal stones which dates from approximately 3,500 B.C. and has traditionally been identified as a communal burial. The largest is the huge capstone, 16 ft long, 7.9 ft wide and 3.0 ft thick. It is estimated to weigh 16 tonnes and rests on the tips of three other stones, some 8.2 ft off the ground. There are six upright stones, three of which support the capstone. Of the remaining three, two portal stones form an entrance and the third, at an angle, appears to block the doorway.
