North Devon and Exmoor is one of the finest unspoilt locations in Britain with stunning coast and countryside; much of the magnificent coast was designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) some fifty years ago.
Nationally protected for the beauty of its landscape, the North Devon AONB covers 171 km sq of the coastal landscape from Marsland Mouth on the Cornish border to Combe Martin on the boundary of Exmoor National Park. It’s made up of several distinct landscapes, each with their own special habitats, and contains many Sites of Special Scientific Interest including Braunton Burrows, which is the only new generation UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in the country.
The North Devon AONB will be celebrating ‘50 years of Outstanding Landscapes’ from September 2009 – June 2010 with a variety of events yet to be announced.
