Discover National Parks Fortnight 4 Apr 2026

Discover National Parks Fortnight

Boots on, screens off. That"s the simple idea behind Discover National Parks Fortnight—two weeks (4-18 April) that nudge people to swap scrolling for strolling. Across the United Kingdom, national parks roll out guided walks, wildlife talks and outdoor activities that remind visitors why these landscapes are worth protecting.
