The best national parks in the UK

Including the activity-packed Peak District, the rarest species in the UK found in The Broads, and the stunning Yorkshire Dales

Containing sixteen lakes, 150 peaks and six national nature reserves, the Lake District National Park is the largest national park in England, comprising all of England’s mountains and covering most of the Lake District in Cumbria

Every year National Parks Week gives visitors a chance to celebrate our incredible and varied wilderness.

This year the National Parks Week runs from 28 July – 3 August and there are 10 national parks across England to explore. Each has created a special event to celebrate National Parks Week, from picnics and treasure hunts in the park, to bicycle rides, safaris and outdoor art exhibitions.
