Budget week in Westminster: Implications for National Parks
This week has seen a flurry of announcements from Ministers that could have significant consequences for National Parks in England and Wales.
Home to iconic Roman ruins such as Hadrian’s Wall, The Cheviots and the darkest skies in England, Northumberland National Park is one of the least visited but still captivating National Parks in England and Wales.
Northumberland has some of the lowest levels of light pollution in England, making it one of the best places in the country to go stargazing. Offering pristine views of millions of stars as far away as Andromeda (2.5 million light years from Earth), it forms part of the first International Dark Sky Park to be designated in England (in 2013).
