National Parks in the UK

Breathing Spaces UK
A new website brings together information on the national parks of England, Scotland, and Wales. Dubbed "Breathing Spaces UK" the new National Parks website showcases information on visiting, living, and conserving Britain's best natural landscapes.

Escape this autumn to one of England's National Parks - whether you're looking to relax and unwind or get active and adventurous, there's something for everyone in these cherished breathing spaces.

Britain's National Parks are perfect for outdoor adventure – hike, cycle, canoe, admire the scenery or simply breathe the fresh air!

Each National Park has an organisation to conserve and enhance its natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage and promote understanding and enjoyment.

Thousands of people live within the National Parks. The needs of local businesses, landowners and residents are all important. Find out about local communities in Living In.

Some of the most beautiful countryside in Britain can be found in the National Parks, from sweeping heather moors and dramatic coasts to breathtaking mountains and tranquil inland waters.

The Natonal Parks website highlights natural landscapes as diverse as Brecon Beacons, Norfolk Broads, The Cairngorms, Dartmoor, Exmoor, The Lake District, Loch Lomond, The New Forest, North York Moors, Northumberland National Park, The Peak District, Pembrokeshire Coast, Snowdonia, South Downs, and the Yorkshire Dales.
