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. Counted together, the United Kingdom has 15
National Parks with 10 in
England, 3 in
Wales and 2 in
Scotland. These parks are not truly National Parks according to the internationally accepted standard of the
IUCN but they are areas of outstanding
landscape where habitation and commercial activities are restricted.
