Today marks the start of Discover National Parks Week: 23 – 29 July 2018
Secret coves, historic hillforts, ancient forests and
tranquil lochs are all waiting to be discovered this National Parks Week.
National Parks Week is the annual National Park family
festival championing all that is unique and special about National Parks. This
year’s festival celebrates the countless opportunities to get outside and
discover the length and breadth of the UK’s 15 National Parks. From treasure
trails and seaside safaris to guided forest walks and local food and drinks,
there are a series of diverse events on offer in every National Park. More here.
National Parks have to cater for everyone, large and small,
two, four and six (or more) footed! Find out a little bit more in ‘Cairngorms –A National Park for All’
The Cairngorms National Park is Britain’s largest National
Park. It contains some of the best
wildlife habitats in the UK including ancient pine forests, arctic mountain
tops, lochs, rivers and moorlands. Home
to a quarter of UK threatened species, it is rich in landscapes, habitats and
heritage. With such unique qualities the
National Park is a fantastic learning resource that inspires people to find out
more about its natural and cultural heritage.
