Luxury Self-Catering Holidays in the English National Parks

The Peak District, an excellent place for a luxury self-catering holiday
England is home to some of the most magnificent countryside in the world. This glorious land extends nationwide and some areas are so beautiful and precious that they are given protected status as a National Park. There are ten national parks in England; these are the Broads, Exmoor, Dartmoor, the Lake District, the New Forest, the North York Moors, Northumberland, the Peak District, the South Downs and the Yorkshire Dales. Each national park is truly unique and can provide an ideal setting in which to take a luxury self catering holiday.

 

The first seven National Parks were introduced during the 1950s, starting with the Peak District in 1951. Since then the Broads (1989), the New Forest (2005) and the South Downs (2010) have been listed. The largest of the National Parks in England is the Lake District, which covers a vast expanse of 2,292 km²; the smallest is the Broads at 305 km².
