Data on nature in National Parks shows urgent need for change
The UK Government has released official data on the state of nature in England’s Protected Landscapes, marking a big step forward in understanding how these special places are faring.
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).
