Dolbadarn Castle, Llanberis, Wales (© Allan Hartley/Alamy)
Some people chase peaks, others follow lakes. In Wales, the Snowdonia (Eryri) National Park is one stop that quietly combines both—Dolbadarn Castle. Standing beside the serene waters of Llyn Padarn, this 13th-century fortress was built by Llywelyn the Great—Prince of Gwynedd from 1199 to 1240—to guard the route through Llanberis Pass. Built from purple and green slate, the castle was largely assembled using dry stone techniques without mortar, apart from the keep. Its distinctive round tower once stood watch over the valley. History here has its twists. Owain Goch ap Gruffudd, Llywelyn's nephew, is believed to have been imprisoned inside these walls after a family feud.

Hawksbill Mountain in Shenandoah National Park, Virginia, United States

How high is high enough for a great view? In the eastern United States, it doesn't take much. Hawksbill Mountain is the highest point in Shenandoah National Park, Virginia, at 1,234 metres, showing how these older mountains rely on openness, not elevation. The park's establishment in 1935 involved reforestation after extensive farming and logging. Today, much of that land has returned to forest, supporting mixed hardwoods, mountain laurel and rhododendron. What else? Some of the rocks found here date back over 1 billion years, among the oldest in the state. The park shelters over 200 bird species and 32 species of fish and remains dog friendly, allowing pets in campgrounds and on most trails.

Smith Rock State Park, Oregon, United States

What do you call a place where the rocks do the climbing, and humans try to keep up? Welcome to Smith Rock State Park in Oregon, United States, where cliffs rise fast, and excuses fall faster. It sits inside the 40-kilometre-long Crooked River Caldera, shaped by multiple volcanic eruptions. Its welded tuff cliffs are made from compressed volcanic ash that cooled under pressure. The Crooked River carved the canyon, while formations like the Spire rise up to 180 metres.

Medieval town of Pitigliano, Tuscany, Italy

Perched on a tufa ridge in southern Tuscany, Italy, Pitigliano is a small town with a big personality. Its roots stretch back to Etruscan times, and the winding streets still echo the past, from medieval fortifications to Renaissance palaces. Walking through its narrow alleys, you can feel centuries of life carved into the stone, while small piazzas invite pauses for coffee or gelato. This enduring treasure is often called 'Little Jerusalem' for its historic Jewish quarter, where a synagogue and historic cemetery tell stories of a once-thriving community.

Arch and Milky Way, Alabama Hills, Sierra Nevada, California, United States

In today's image, the granite arches of the Alabama Hills frame the Milky Way over a rugged landscape in California's eastern Sierra Nevada, United States. Famous for its rounded boulders and weathered rock formations, this area formed when molten rock cooled deep underground around 100 million years ago. Water and wind gradually shaped the stone into the smooth shapes seen today. Visitors can explore the natural arches, hike among the rocks, capture photographs of the unique landscape, ride horses or mountain bikes and enjoy seasonal displays of wildflowers.

Atlantic puffins, Wales

Along the rocky coasts of the North Atlantic, Atlantic puffins make their homes in burrows and cliffside crevices. These seabirds, with their black‑and‑white plumage and colourful beaks, are classified by the IUCN as vulnerable, as overfishing and changing ocean conditions reduce the availability of their prey. Each spring, they return to breed, laying a single egg in carefully dug burrows. Remarkable swimmers, they use their wings to 'fly' underwater when hunting small fish such as herring and sand eels.

Polar bear mother and cubs playing in Wapusk National Park, Manitoba, Canada

Captured in Wapusk National Park in northern Manitoba, Canada, today's image shows a polar bear mother and her cubs sharing a playful moment on the Arctic tundra. For polar bears, motherhood is a long and demanding commitment. Females give birth in winter, sheltering their newborn cubs in snow dens that provide vital insulation. Cubs are born tiny and rely entirely on their mother's rich, fat-heavy milk for warmth and rapid growth.

Leopard sleeping in a tree in the savannah, Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya

High above the savannah in Kenya's Masai Mara National Reserve, a leopard curls up on a tree branch, napping as the grasslands glow at sunset. Today, let's throw light on one of the world's most adaptable big cats. Leopards roam across Africa and parts of Asia, thriving in habitats that range from forests and mountains to open savannas. Their spotted coats are unique to each individual, like fingerprints, and their powerful climbing skills allow them to stash prey high in trees, out of reach of scavengers.

Small lake and marsh in Jasper National Park in Alberta, Canada

Can you picture 11,000 square kilometres of protected wilderness? That's Jasper National Park in Alberta. Established in 1907 as part of a growing network of protected landscapes in the Canadian Rockies, it was designated a national park in 1930. The park reflects both conservation efforts and much older Indigenous connections, including those of the Nakoda and Secwépemc peoples. Its terrain ranges from glacier-fed rivers and alpine meadows to dense conifer forests dominated by spruce and pine.
