It features 10 out of the 15 National Parks in the UK including the Peak District, Lake District and Snowdonia.

National Parks make up 10 per cent of England, Scotland and Wales and were created to open up the countryside to ‘ordinary people’.

Philip Parker, a spokesman from Royal Mail, said: “We are proud to be able to share the beauty of these parks on stamps at a time when so many of us have had our travel restricted.”

The stamps will be available online and at 7,000 Post Offices across the UK from the 14 January 2021.
