The UK scored highly when it came to the best National Parks in Europe…
There’s nowhere we’d rather be than the Great Outdoors, especially since we’re all being asked to stay home at the moment. And as if to remind us of what we’re missing, new research from SaveOnEnergy.com/uk has been crunching the numbers to find out where the highest rated National Parks in Europe are – and whilst the UK wasn’t able to steal the crown (this time!), we did rank in the top ten amongst European countries for the beauty and splendour of our National Parks.
Images of the stamp set, featuring ten of the 15 National Parks, are released today. The ten parks featured are: Peak District (founded 1951); Lake District (1951); Snowdonia (1951); Dartmoor (1951); North York Moors (1952); The Broads (1989); New Forest (2005); South Downs (2010); Pembrokeshire Coast (1952); Loch Lomond and The Trossachs (2002).
The full set of stamp The UK’s National Parks cover a breathtaking range of natural environments: from cold tundra to temperate rainforest, from gigantic sea cliffs to rolling chalk hills, from razor-sharp mountains to marshy wetlands. They are also places where people have lived, worked, worshipped, farmed and traded for centuries, in ways that have shaped and been shaped by the surrounding environment. These landscapes are 15 unique combinations of human culture and natural history.
