The largest protected area in the UK, the Cairngorms National Park is one of the best places in Britain for nature. It is where we find some of our wildest land, arctic-like mountain plateaux, a quarter of Scotland’s native woodlands, the headwaters of four of Scotland’s major rivers, functioning floodplains and some of our last remaining fragments of mountain woodland. Whether you’re a visitor or a resident, people who come to the National Park feel deeply connected to the nature that surrounds them. With such an extraordinary place comes great responsibility to nurture, protect, and preserve the unique environment for generations to come. And that's where the Cairngorms National Park Authority comes in - helping to create an outstanding National Park, enjoyed and valued by everyone, where nature and people thrive together.
