There are nine National Parks in England.
Are National Parks in England the same as those in other countries?
Many National Parks around the world cover huge areas of land where nobody lives, but in England most of the countryside within them is used for farming and other activities.
Are there any problems in the National Parks?
There are about 110 million visitors to the parks every year. As a result, many popular towns and villages are overcrowded, and car parks and roads are full of traffic. Also, life is difficult for people who live there, because more and more gift shops and cafés are opened instead of those everyday shops. Another main problem is litter which is dangerous to animals.
How can people help?
All National Parks in England call on the Countryside Code, which tells people how to take care of their environment. If people follow these rules, the National Parks will be protected.
