National parks of the United Kingdom

National parks of the United Kingdom

National parks of the United Kingdom are a devolved matter with each of the countries of the United Kingdom having its own policies and arrangements. There are 15 of these managed areas of outstanding landscape where habitation and commercial activities are restricted, with 10 in England, 3 in Wales and 2 in Scotland. There are currently no national parks in Northern Ireland though there are controversial moves to establish one in the Mourne Mountains.[1]
