What is an National Landscape?
Gower National Landscape is designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty. Its distinctive character and natural beauty so precious that it is to be protected in the national interest.
This is a new chapter in the story of designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs) in England and Wales.
The new name reflects our national importance: the vital contribution we make to protect the nation from the threats of climate change, nature depletion and the wellbeing crisis, whilst also creating greater understanding and awareness for the work of the whole National Landscapes family.
This is a significant milestone for the UK and the next step in fully realising our vision to be the leading exemplars of how thriving, diverse communities can work with and for nature in the UK: restoring ecosystems, providing food, storing carbon to mitigate the effects of climate change, safeguarding against drought and flooding, whilst also nurturing people's health and wellbeing.
National Landscapes are places where people live and work and come to breathe. Places where our stories come to life.
