    Welcome to Cornwall National Landscape

    Welcome to Season 2 of the Cornwall National Landscape podcast! From Wednesday 22 November, all AONBs became known as National Landscapes. This strong and consistent branding is designed to ‘level-up’ and reflect the importance of these protected landscapes alongside the UK’s National Parks. Cornwall National Landscape is the new name for the protected landscape in Cornwall, endorsed by Natural England. We are still in law a designated area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB). Cornwall National Landscape is 12 separate sections making up one third of Cornwall and our primary purpose remains to conserve and enhance Natural Beauty.
