Welcome to South Devon National Landscape

In recognition of its special qualities South Devon National Landscape was designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty  in 1960.

One of 46 National Landscapes in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and a member of the  National Landscapes Association, these protected landscapes are managed through local Partnerships on behalf of the nation.

 

South Devon National Landscape is one of a family of protected landscapes in the UK. With the guidance of a Partnership , the team works to enhance South Devon’s outstanding beauty, for which the designation was applied. The special qualities of South Devon National Landscape include its rugged coastline, sandy beaches, secretive estuaries, patchwork countryside and historic villages – to name but a few!

🌼 Snowdrop Day – 8 February | 🌼It may be wet underfoot and grey overhead, but winter has its own quiet magic ✨Snowdrops are beginning to appear across the South Devon National Landscape, lighting up our wonderful Devon hedge banks and woodlands with their delicate white blooms. and heralding the 1st signs of spring!So don’t let the rain put you off — pull on your boots, and your waterproofs, wrap up warm, and head outside. These little flowers are a gentle reminder that spring is already on its way 🌱If you spot snowdrops on your walk, we’d love to see them! 📸Please share your photos in the comments and help us celebrate these beautiful signs of hope.Fun snowdrop facts (taken from a variety of Google searches): 🌱 there are over 19 species of snowdrop and more than 2,500 varieties. 🌱 snowdrops are not native to England.🌱 snowdrops and their bulbs are poisonous to humans. 🌱 snowdrops contain a natural anti-freeze. Even if they collapse in freezing weather they recover once the temperature rises.🌱 they are named after earrings and not drops of snow.Who’s heading out for a snowdrop stroll this weekend? 💚#spring #snowdropseason #winterwalks ...
