UK National Parks

ENGLAND
● Southwest: Dartmoor | Exmoor
These 2 areas of rugged moorland offer a real sense of remoteness and escape, despite
being easily accessible by car. You can camp wild on Dartmoor, and both are superb for
walking and hiking, have unique breeds of pony and are excellent areas for horse riding. On
Exmoor, you can look up at the tallest tree in England and try and spot some of almost 250
bird species.
● Northwest: Lake District
From 16 sparkling lakes and England's highest mountains to sheltered valleys and salty
seascapes, Cumbria and the Lake District have inspired and captivated generations of
visitors and famous writers and poets such as William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. But
there's more to see than just scenery. The area has a rich heritage to discover, a vibrant and
contemporary cultural scene, and a growing reputation for fine food and drink.
● Northeast: Northumberland | North York Moors | Yorkshire Dales
Listen to the call of the upland birds, saunter through picturesque villages of honey
sandstone, build sandcastles or sit and watch the world go by. All around are the signs of
past generations - historic abbeys, embattled castles, churches, crosses and ancient
trackways. Northumberland National Park stretches from Hadrian's Wall to the Scottish
border, while the North York Moors spread westwards from the east coast of Yorkshire. The
Yorkshire Dales park straddles the central Pennines in the counties of North Yorkshire and
Cumbria and is a favourite destination for walkers, cyclists and horse riders.

SCOTLAND
● Central Highlands: Cairngorms
Explore one of the last real wildernesses of Europe, home to red deer, osprey and golden
eagle. Its mountains, glens and shimmering lochs have inspired generations of visitors, and
for many, its stark grandeur is the quintessential Scottish landscape.

WALES
● Wales North: Snowdonia
Wales' famous uplands are known for their craggy mountains, brooding natural landscapes
and grey-green slate villages. You'll also find secluded valleys, Snowdonia's famous heritage
steam railways and some of Britain's most imposing castles.
● Southeast
Pembrokeshire, Britain's only truly coastal National Park, is a sweeping crescent of jagged
cliffs, sandy beaches, wooded estuaries and wild hills, a place of sanctuary for wildlife and a
centre for water sports. You'll also find Britain's smallest city, the charming St David's, and
the 186 - mile Pembrokeshire Coast Path that boasts some of Britain's best sea views.
