2009 is an exciting year for the AONB Partnership, as we continue with the Management Plan. The Plan sets out what we think is special about the AONB and the policies and actions for the next 5 years that we hope will make a real difference. But it is also our 50th anniversary of being an AONB, back in 1959 this area was designated a special landscape. Watch this space for more infomation on special events celebrating this milestone
