See Pembrokeshire Coast National Park: https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/165598 It is entirely within, and occupies a large part of, the county of Pembrokeshire. It is not administered by the UK Government, the Welsh Assembly or Pembrokeshire County Council but by the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pembrokeshire_Coast_National_Park The PCNPA owns less than 2% of the national park, the rest of it is privately owned. It contains 13 Special Areas of Conservation, 5 Special Protection Areas, 1 Marine Conservation Zone, 7 National Nature Reserves, 60 Sites of Special Scientific Interest and 265 Scheduled Ancient Monuments, all of which come under one or another protection scheme and are administered by different organizations. See https://www.pembrokeshirecoast.wales/default.asp?PID=503 There are also woodlands administered/protected by various different organizations. It also contains hamlets, villages, town and cities. As well as everything else you might expect to find in an area with a resident population of around 22,500 such as golf courses, recreational parks, etc. Planning permission within the park is controlled by the PCNPA rather than the County Council. It's all kind of complicated. -- Paul
