National parks · North West England
All fifteen UK national parks, ranked
From the wild Cairngorms to the Norfolk Broads — every UK national park, opinionated.
The UK has fifteen designated national parks: ten in England, three in Wales, two in Scotland. They cover roughly a tenth of the country and protect the landscapes most worth protecting — but they are not equally accessible, equally walkable or equally open. This is an honest tour.
