Give an example of the conflicts that occur in a National Park that you have studied

For this question you will need to use a case study of a National Park. We have used the Lake District.

Conflicts can occur:

• Most popular national park in the UK.
• Has lakes and mountains.
• Offers a large range of activities such as boating, walking, climbing and buildings of a historic interest.

These activities cause conflicts:

• Popular walking areas suffer from erosion.
• Mountain bikes and horses spoil the landscape by churning up the grass into mud.
• Speed boats give off noise pollution which annoys other boaters and tourists.
• Cars cause traffic jams at popular times and make air pollution.
• There are not enough parking spaces for cars so they have to park in the road and on grass.
• Tourists park in front of farmers' gates - blocking the farmers' entrance which annoys the local farming community.
• Conservationists are annoyed at damage to the environment - flowers picked, erosion etc.
• Habitats destroyed for land to build car parks, hotels on.
