The AONB Family has put forward its offer to the nation. National Landscape: the
designation for the 21st century and beyond.

Did you know... 156m people visit AONBs annually, spending over £2bn and
supporting thousands of jobs and businesses.




THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR
AREAS OF OUTSTANDING NATURAL BEAUTY

An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) is a designated exceptional
landscape whose distinctive character and natural beauty are precious enough to
be safeguarded in the national interest. AONBs are protected and enhanced for
nature, people, business and culture.

England, Wales and Northern Ireland has 46 Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty,
covering 18% of the countryside, over a fifth of the English coast, and
including 12,000 miles of footpaths and bridleways.


...SUPPORTING THE UK’S 46 AONBS TO VALUE AND SECURE THE NATURAL BEAUTY OF THE
COUNTRYSIDE

The National Association for AONBs is a charity with three objects:

 * to promote the conservation and enhancement of natural beauty in and around
   AONBs and other similarly protected areas;
 * to advance the education, understanding and appreciation of the conservation
   and enhancement of the countryside; and
 * to promote the efficiency and effectiveness of organisations promoting or
   representing Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.


JUMP STRAIGHT TO:

NATIONAL LANDSCAPE: THE DESIGNATION FOR THE 21ST CENTURY AND BEYOND

Our offer to the nation: beautiful world class landscapes delivering on the
global challenges of the 21st century: leading the fight against climate change;
feeding the nation while restoring nature; ensuring clean, plentiful drinking
water; safeguarding against drought and flooding; growing a sustainable,
resilient economy to protect rural communities from economic shocks; and
delivering health, wellbeing and employment opportunities to all people.

Find out more about the AONB network's ambitions in our new publication, you're

these places.

Ten years on from his landmark ‘Making Space for Nature’ report, and in context
