National parks of Great Britain

There are thirteen spaces known as National Parks within England and Wales, each ruled by its own National Park Authority, the role of which is: to conserve and enhance the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage of the National Parks and to promote opportunities for the understanding and enjoyment of the special qualities of the National Parks by the public.
The National Park Authority for each park addresses these aims in partnership with other organisations, such as the National Trust. In cases where there may be conflict between the two purposes of designation, the first must take precedence under the Sanford Principle.
The first national park, which is called the Peak District, was formed in April 1951 under the Clement Attle led Labour administration. This was followed in the same year by the designations of three more National Parks; the Lake District, Snowdonia and Dartmoor.

Conclusion

When I was preparing my report I found out a lot of incredible and interesting information about the parks I have never known about. For instance the fact that Dartmoor brought inspiration to a number of British artists and writers, such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (The Hound of the Baskervilles and The Adventure of Silver Blaze), Eden Phillpotts, Beatrice Chase, Agatha Christie and the Reverend Sabine Baring-Gould.
