A Breath Of Fresh Air

Welcome to the only website dedicated to country parks.

We all need a wide, open space in which to exercise, play or just take a break from the stresses of our hectic lives. Country parks provide the perfect setting for people of all ages to experience nature, heritage and the great outdoors.

Funded by Natural England, this site provides a variety of resources and information to help practitioners develop, promote and manage their country parks.

Membership of the Country Parks Network is free and is open to anyone, so if you haven't yet registered, do so now to promote your park on this site.

If you would like to discover your nearest country park or find out more about specific country parks, click on 'Find a Country Park' for a map which will enable you to search for these fascinating and valuable sites by region.

We are constantly updating this site with content and tools. If you have any comments please contact the site administrator
