What is a National Park?

Whether for its historic or scientific importance, to aid the preservation of habitats, or simply to create an enjoyable space to roam, National Parks are important in a variety of ways.

There are 15 National Parks across the UK; 10 in England, 3 in Wales, and 2 in Scotland. Each one flaunts its own unique landscapes and adventure.

Their large, open spaces provide a great space for outdoor recreation all year round. If you wish to escape with your canine companion, a National Park is the perfect place to do so. Find a variety of routes for your four-legged friends in Snowdonia National Park, while many parks include accessible routes so everyone can enjoy the wonders of our natural world.


How can we help preserve our National Parks?

From the biggest of the Lake District to the smallest but equally impressive Broads in Norfolk and Suffolk, each National Park needs our support in contributing to its sustainability.

There are a variety of ways in which we can help preserve our parks. Little tasks like picking up litter are extremely important, while larger endeavours such as reducing your energy usage play have a positive impact on our world as a whole.
