National Parks

Geological trips, tours and holidays that visit National Parks. National Parks are established for a number of reasons including conserving geomorphological sites in landscapes of great beauty, conserving plant and animal species and habitats of special scientific interest, and also for educational and recreational interest. Many national parks are situated in areas of great geological interest, because stunning scenery and fascinating geology go hand in hand! We therefore visit many different national parks in several different countries, additionally GeoWorld Travel is actually based in a national park - the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park, and here we run a day tour.
