About myself

National Parks

My name is Yaroslava. My surname is Polupan. I am fourteen. I live in Barvinkove. I study at School №1. I am in the ninth form. I have many hobbies. They are: writing stories, drawing beautiful pictures and embroidering. I like to meet and to speak with my friends, to play on computer, to listen to music, to go for a walk, to travel and to ride a bike. Especially I like to read books. I want to tell you about National parks of Great Britain.

Great Britain is world renowned for its natural parks and areas of natural beauty, which to the casual tourist are a sight to behold.

These national parks, which are designated because of their striking beauty and also the plethora of wildlife, they are home to – offer the casual tourist and the die-hard enthusiast the opportunity to experience some of Britain’s most beautiful and lavish countryside.

The Brecon BeaconsSituated in mid-Wales and covering an area of 519 miles

(1344km2), the Brecon Beacons are among the most breathtaking of all the national parks in the United Kingdom. Complete with its own unique summit – Pen Y Fan – the summit is the oldest red sandstone summit in Britain. One half of the 519 mile national park is 1,000ft above sea level. You can also visit the Dan-yr-Ogof show caves, which contain four lakes, and almost ten miles of cave tunnels.

The Norfolk and Suffolk Broads The Norfolk and Suffolk Broads

are dotted with places of historical interest including churches, windmills and botanical gardens. As well as having over 200km (125 miles) of tidal waters on which enthusiasts can take their boats without having to stop for locks. There are many different wildlife reserves throughout the Broads and they offer the opportunity to watch bird life from specially constructed ‘hides’ as well as the chance to see some of Britain’s rarest and most beautiful water foul in their natural habitat.

The New ForestSituated in the south west of Hampshire,

the New Forest hosts a truly unique range of woodland, mudflats and sprawling boggy mires that make it one of the most truly outstanding areas of natural beauty in the United Kingdom. The New Forest offers the casual tourist or indeed the die hard wild life enthusiast the chance to see ancient oaks, wild flowers and birds of such rarity that it is one of the reasons why the New Forest was given National Park status back in 2005.

The Lake DistrictWith Scafell Pike standing as its highest

summit and Wastwater as its deepest stretch of water, the Lake District truly is a magnificent place to visit. Interspersed with villages and communities like Keswick and Bowness-on-Windermere, the Lake District offers the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday city life. Here you will find twelve of Britain’s largest lakes in one district as well as over 3,500km (2174 miles) of public right of way which allow for breathtaking walks or cycle rides through what some have described as the most beautiful place in Britain.

The Lake District

It is also the only place in Britain where you can come to see ‘grey’ sheep; the herd of Herdwick sheep descended from those brought to the district by the Vikings and who are responsible for grazing on the land in harsh weather conditions.

These national parks and the wild life that flourish in them are a vivid and beautiful remainder of what makes the United Kingdom such a vibrant and exciting place to visit.
