UK National Parks Holidays


UK National Parks are special areas of countryside that are protected places for everyone to enjoy. They each have their own beautiful countryside, wildlife and cultural heritage. The National Park and Countryside Act 1949 allowed people to live and work in the National Parks and protected the farms, villages and towns from development and industrialisation. Each National Park has its own boundaries, rules and laws to make sure nature and wildlife are protected. They are for everyone to benefit from unspoilt nature.
