3. My name is Yaroslava. My surname is Polupan. I am
fourteen. I live in Barvinkove. I study at School №1.
I am in the ninth form.
I have many hobbies. They are: writing stories, drawing
beautiful pictures and embroidering. I like to meet and to
speak with my friends, to play on computer, to listen to
music, to go for a walk, to travel and to ride a bike.
Especially I like to read books.
I want to tell you about National parks of Great
Britain.
4. Great Britain is world renowned for
its natural parks and areas of natural
beauty, which to the casual tourist are
a sight to behold.
These national parks, which are designated
because of their striking beauty and also
the plethora of wildlife, they are home to –
offer the casual tourist and the die-hard
enthusiast the opportunity to experience
some of Britain’s most beautiful and lavish
countryside.
5. The Brecon Beacons
Situated in mid-Wales and covering an area of 519 miles
(1344km2), the Brecon Beacons are among the most
breathtaking of all the national parks in the United
Kingdom. Complete with its own unique summit – Pen Y
Fan – the summit is the oldest red sandstone summit in
Britain. One half of the 519 mile national park is 1,000ft
above sea level. You can also visit the Dan-yr-Ogof show
caves, which contain four lakes, and almost ten miles of
cave tunnels.
7. The Norfolk and Suffolk Broads
The Norfolk and Suffolk Broads are dotted with places
of historical interest including churches, windmills and
botanical gardens. As well as having over 200km (125 miles)
of tidal waters on which enthusiasts can take their boats
without having to stop for locks. There are many different
wildlife reserves throughout the Broads and they offer the
opportunity to watch bird life from specially constructed
‘hides’ as well as the chance to see some of Britain’s rarest and
most beautiful water foul in their natural habitat.
9. The New Forest
Situated in the south west of Hampshire, the New
Forest hosts a truly unique range of woodland,
mudflats and sprawling boggy mires that make
it one of the most truly outstanding areas of
natural beauty in the United Kingdom. The
New Forest offers the casual tourist or indeed
the die hard wild life enthusiast the chance to
see ancient oaks, wild flowers and birds of such
rarity that it is one of the reasons why the New
Forest was given National Park status back in
2005.
11. The Lake District
With Scafell Pike standing as its highest summit and
Wastwater as its deepest stretch of water, the Lake
District truly is a magnificent place to visit.
Interspersed with villages and communities like
Keswick and Bowness-on-Windermere, the Lake
District offers the perfect escape from the hustle and
bustle of everyday city life. Here you will find
twelve of Britain’s largest lakes in one district as
well as over 3,500km (2174 miles) of public right of
way which allow for breathtaking walks or cycle
rides through what some have described as the most
beautiful place in Britain.
13. It is also the only place in Britain where you can come to
see ‘grey’ sheep; the herd of Herdwick sheep
descended from those brought to the district by the
Vikings and who are responsible for grazing on the
land in harsh weather conditions.
These national parks and the wild life that flourish in
them are a vivid and beautiful remainder of what
makes the United Kingdom such a vibrant and
exciting place to visit.
