Happy 73rd Birthday to the Peak District which was officially designated the first National Park in the United Kingdom on this day in 1951 🥳 #Sheffield is the only city in the UK to have a National Park within its boundaries, how lucky are we?! Peak District National Park #PeakDistrict

Ethel Haythornthwaite and John Dower working on a ‘big idea’ in the mid 1940’s and without the vision and effort of so many people we wouldn’t be wishing everyone at the Peak District National Park a very happy 73rd birthday today 🥳🎂. Campaign for National Parks

Spring has definitely sprung on the regenerated hedge at the Haythornthwaite Wood. Thanks again to all the donors, supporters and volunteers that have contributed to the wonderful regeneration of the wood. @cpre Sheffield Parks Dore Village Society

We need urgent action and major changes – the government needs to strengthen legislation and significantly increase the resources for nature recovery our Parks 👀👇
