The map clearly shows National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, forest and woodland areas and the Heritage Coast in England and Wales, much of which is accessible by train and ferry. The rail network includes seasonal and heritage railways. There is also a more detailed map of the London National Park City, the world’s first National Park City.
