From mountains and valleys to moorland and beaches, the National Parks encompass some of the rarest and most beautiful natural phenomena the country has to offer. You can visit the ‘dinosaur coast’ in North Yorkshire where you can see fossils and even giant footprints, enjoy an underground boat ride in the Peak District or do your own investigation into the ‘beast of Exmoor’.

National Parks are areas of protected countryside that everyone can visit, and where people live, work and shape the landscape.

Whichever National Park you choose, you are sure to be amazed at the secrets and treasures that nature has hidden there.

We at Marks & Spencer know that having a good time is important to everyone, which is why we make sure that we have breaks to suit any taste or occasion.
