What is a UK national park?

There are 15 National Parks across the UK. They are areas that are protected due to their cultural heritage, varied wildlife and beautiful countryside.

There are clear boundaries, and laws exists to protect the nature and wildlife so that it can all be enjoyed by current and future generations. The overarching aim is for people to be able to continually benefit from everything nature has to offer, without destroying it.

People live and work across the UK National Parks. The farms, villages and towns are protected along with the landscape and wildlife.

National Parks welcome visitors and are popular rural tourism destinations. They are popular with both domestic tourists and inbound tourists.

The National Park organisation provides opportunities for everyone to experience, enjoy and learn about their parks’ special qualities. 

The statutory purposes of these fifteen parks are:

• To conserve and enhance the natural and cultural heritage of the area
• To promote understanding and enjoyment of the special qualities of the national park by the public

Why should you visit a UK national park?

A trip to a national park allows you to escape the everyday burdens of life. Get away from your noisy neighbours, forget about what happened in the office last week and leave the high heels at home!

There are plenty of benefits of getting out and about in nature. According to Richard Louv, in his book Last Child In The Woods, nature-deficit disorder is the loss of connection of humans to their natural environment.

Staying close to nature n(by visiting one of the UK national parks!) improves physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. It makes us feel alive from the inside, and we should not compromise it for recent developments like urbanization, technology, or social media.

Some of the benefits of being amongst nature include:

• Positive health impacts (research has demonstrated improved nervous system function, well-balanced heart conditions, reduced bowel disorder amongst other positive impacts)
• Improved psychological well-being (research has shown positive effects on cognitive functions, reduced cases of depression and reductions in conditions such as hypertension)
• Spiritual enhancement (a better feeling of appreciation and gratitude, increased mindfulness)

In addition to the benefits of being amongst nature, a national park can be a great place to enjoy all of the activities that rural tourism destinations have to offer, such as water sports, hiking opportunities and bike riding- to name but a few. You will also be sure to discover some of the prettiest English villages within these stunning national parks – so you’ll have plenty of exploring to do!
