Northumberland National Park
The Northumberland National Park is a northernmost national park in England, covering an area of over 1,050 square kilometers between the Scottish border and Hadrian's Wall. It is located entirely within the county of Northumberland and covers about a quarter of the county. The park is the most remote from large urban areas, the least populated, and the least visited among England and Wales' 13 national parks. It encompasses several distinct areas, including the Cheviot Hills, rolling moorland, and the central section of Hadrian's Wall, which dates back to the Roman occupation. The park's history spans 10,000 years and features numerous archaeological sites, including prehistoric monuments, Roman remains, and Pele towers. The park's symbol is the curlew, and it is home to Kielder Forest, the largest man-made forest in Europe, which surrounds Kielder Water. The Ministry of Defence owns a significant portion of the land as the Otterburn Training Area, and in 2013, the International Dark Sky Association designated the area, including the national park and Kielder, as Europe's largest protected Dark Sky Park.learn more on wikipedia
