  • National Parks in Wales What Are National Parks?
    National Parks in Wales What are National Parks? National Parks are the areas of British countryside which are considered to be the most special and beautiful. They are protected so that people can enjoy them both now and in the future. In the UK there are 15 National Parks, 3 of which are in Wales: • Snowdonia National Park • Brecon Beacons National Park • Pembrokeshire Coast National Park The Welsh National Parks contain spectacular and beautiful scenery. Although they are relatively wild, they have been shaped through the centuries by the people who have lived and worked in them. They are rich in natural and cultural heritage, with a wealth of wildlife, geological, historical and archaeological sites. Unlike in some other countries, the British National Parks are not publicly owned. People live and work in the National Parks. The farms, villages and towns are protected along with the landscape and wildlife. National Parks welcome visitors and provide opportunities for everyone to enjoy and learn about their special qualities. What are National Parks? Each National Park has an organisation, the National Park Authority, which looks after the landscape and wildlife and helps people enjoy and learn about the area. The two purposes of National Park Authorities are laid out by law: • To conserve and enhance the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage of the National Parks • To promote opportunities for the understanding and enjoyment of the special qualities of National Parks by the public. When National Parks carry out these purposes they also have the duty to: • Seek to foster the economic and social well being of local communities within the National Parks.

  • Ser 12 No 6 Yorkshire Ramblers' Club Journal
    Foreword by the President As my 'tour of duty' draws to a close it is satisfying to observe that the Bulletin goes from strength to strength. Whoever would have thought that by the time of the sixth issue, just three years from inception, there has been more material published than in our previous journals which took five or six years to produce. Due credit must be given to Arthur Salmon for promoting the idea in his first year of office, to the Editor for carrying the project through quite brilliantly and above all to you, the contributors, without whose effort everything fails. Looking back there is a theme running through this edition of the Bulletin and the articles will keep us busy through the long evenings ofthe winter months. An appreciation of a century of Club caving and recollections of a recent cave incident contrast with a variety of articles on eastern Europe, the Americas and setting the record straight concerning a double benightment. There is plenty of food for thought here and a sobering reflection or two.
