The fifteen national parks in the UK are the real gems of our countryside. These unique places are nationally protected because of their beautiful countryside, wildlife, and cultural heritage. Nevertheless, they are living and working areas that welcome visitors and provide opportunities for everyone to experience, learn about and enjoy their treasures. A UK National Park holiday location offers many outdoor activities, from mountaineering to mountain biking or simply strolling around and enjoying the view.
These are nationally recognised locations, protected for their natural beauty and distinctive character. When you choose a holiday in one of the 38 National Landscapes in England or Wales, you are assured of stunning countryside, whether wild moorland, rolling hills, or sandy beaches.
The UK has a wealth of historical and heritage sites spanning six millennia, including castles, abbeys, courts, country estates, hill forts, industrial sites, Roman fortifications, and even abandoned medieval villages.

Many of these sites offer interactive exhibits, guided tours, and family-friendly activities, making them perfect for a fun and educational day with the kids.
