The Best 10 National Parks in the UK
The best national parks in the UK offer completely free access to some of the nation’s most breathtaking natural landscapes. Thanks to ‘right to roam’ legislation, it’s possible to freely wander around vast areas of the countryside, to the peaks of some of the country’s tallest mountains and around the largest lakes.
The range of landscapes represented in our list is remarkably diverse. There’s anything from ancient forests to rugged coastlines, verdant valleys to bleak moorlands, snow-capped peaks to low-lying wetlands and more. All offer impressive ranges of activities, including hiking, cycling, climbing, kayaking, fishing, boating, horse riding, gorge walking, fell running, Munro bagging (that is, summiting Scottish mountains), and more. Alternatively, if you’re feeling lazy, you can enjoy a nice hot chaii in a cosy country cafe in one of the many picturesque villages that dot each national park.
