30 July to 5 August 2007, is National Parks Week in the UK, a celebration of its 14 National Parks. They are large areas of land throughout England, Wales and Scotland, containing the finest landscapes in the UK, considered worthy of special protection for the benefit of the nation, and are available for everyone to enjoy free of charge.
A whole range of events are being held in each of the National Parks (Brecon Beacons, The Broads, Cairngorms, Dartmoor, Exmoor, Lake District, Loch Lomond and The Trossachs, New Forest, Northumberland, North York Moors, Peak District, Pembrokeshire Coast, Snowdonia, Yorkshire Dales). Each park has its own character and there is something for everyone to enjoy. Picnics in the Park, beach art, dry stone walling demonstrations, guided walks and canoe safaris are just a few of the activities and adventures on offer. Go to the UK National Parks' website for details of the
National Parks Week Events.
We have lots of
Family Activity Holidays and breaks to choose from in our specialised directory.
