Across the world, countries have turned some of their most incredible areas of natural beauty into National Parks, preserving them for generations to come. From the frozen expanse of Iceland's Vatnajökull ice cap to the steep limestone gorges of the Cévennes in southern France, this series will explore these areas by not only taking a cinematic journey from above, but also by swooping down closer to the ground to meet the people who use these landscapes every day, discovering the oftenextreme jobs they undertake and the unique lives they lead.
There is no Next Episode of National Parks from Above planned.
S1E4 - Turkey
Goreme National Park in Turkey sits within a mystical landscape filled with rocky spires and smooth wind-cut valleys, but hidden within this spectacular scene is the story of those who have carved out a life here. For thousands of years, people have lived within the caves that litter the park's cliffs and the so-called 'fairy chimneys' scattered throughout.

S1E6 - France
The Cevennes National Park in France is a remote expanse filled with emerald-green valleys and crowned by some of the darkest night skies in Europe. Despite the tranquillity of this area, beneath the surface is an active population working hard to keep the park's traditions alive and its identity intact.
