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!

🌱 A productive day on the Salcombe-Kingsbridge Estuary!Today, South Devon National Landscape Estuaries Officer Nigel Mortimer, supported by our three apprentices, harvested free floating dwarf seagrass plants from the Salcombe -Kingsbridge estuary shore. Tomorrow, these valuable plants will be replanted in a similar intertidal mudflat of the Yealm Estuary, hoping to restore and strengthen these lesser known intertidal seagrass meadows across South Devon's estuaries.Seagrass plays a vital role in supporting biodiversity, improving water quality, and storing carbon, making restoration work like this an important investment in the health of our coastal environment.A huge thank you to everyone involved in this hands-on conservation effort. 🌊💚#SeagrassRestoration #SouthDevonNationalLandscape #MarineConservation #BlueCarbon #NatureRecovery #SalcombeKingsbridgeEstuary #YealmEstuary ...
