Information about the National Parks of the UK

In 1951, the Peak District became the first region to be designated as a National Park. Each National Park is overseen by a different organization, with financing provided by the federal government.

However, they also have volunteers doing things such as fixing fences and walls, surveying wildlife, and leading guided walks.
