Maybe consider accepting "Dales" for Yorkshire Dales and "NYM" for North York Moors?

Tbf, I’m British and have only ever heard it referred to as “Yorkshire Moors,” although North York Moors may well be the official name. Considering some of the bs answers/spellings they accept on here,I think there’s a case for this one being allowed?

I am British and I know it as the North York Moors. To be honest I didn't even know I knew all these, but I did.

Cheers Berney, nice idea with fantastic presentation.

I gotta spend more time in Wales. Missed two out of three there, but got the English ones. I just have trouble wrapping my Southern US ears around the Welsh accent for some reason.

Nicely done.. you could use the same map to test the river knowledge too.

I've now done a separate quiz with a map to test your knowledge of the UK's rivers. You can find it at Ultimate Rivers of the UK (with map). It's tricky to get them all but good luck with it!

Ahh! Missed North York Moores, Pembrokeshire Coast and Brecon Beacons. But I typed Pembrokeshire and Yorkshire Moores and got neither!!!!

That National Park in Wales is not called just Pembrokeshire - I'm looking for the full names. Also it's Moors, not Moores.

Couldn't be bothered adding in the massive amount of scottish natonal parks? All two of them?

Cairngorms and Loch Lomond &The Trossachs for your information.

Thanks for the non-constructive comment. I used an available map and didn't have one with the Scottish parks or I would have included them too. I'm fully aware of what the two are by the way and I will more than likely do another quiz when I have a suitable map. However, I've noticed that you "couldn't be bothered" either - how about making the effort to do a quiz which includes them yourself?

Well, Berney it would be a rather foolish endeavour as having covered 13 of the 15 parks, two really doesn't constitute a quiz.

However, apologies for the negative language, it isn't right when someone has gone out of their way to assemble a quiz that does enlighten non-UK residents to what is a part of the UK's heritage.

No problem. I was actually proposing expanding this quiz to include the two Scottish parks when I can find a suitable map that has all 15.

Just so you know, when you scroll over the area colored for Pembrokeshire Coast after the quiz is finished, it is the only park that doesn't display the name.

I didn't think I knew any of these, but I remember the Lake District from Pride and Prejudice, Snowdonia from Midsomer Murders, and Yorkshire Dales from All Creatures Great and Small - just didn't realize they were all national parks. Thanks for the learning moment. I would love to visit all of these someday, but it probably will never happen.

If you fancy testing your knowledge of UK towns and cities and the rivers that flow through them you might like to try this quiz of mine too UK Cities, Towns & their Rivers (with map).

Do you think you could accept simply brecon for brecon beacons as that is what it is called to most people locally :)

Great quiz...I've been to all of them and it was tough! There are a couple of alternative names that would be really fair to include - 10 could just drop the second word, 7 could end in -bria.

Thanks for that. I did wonder about the answer for Number 10 but over 35% of people are getting it right so I'll leave it for now. The Park itself at Number 7 has never been known with the 'bria' ending, though the term was used to describe that part of the country in Anglo Saxon times. That area was larger than the present National park though.

Updated to include the new official Welsh names for the National Parks in Wales as alternatives - awaiting approval.
