Sustainable Development Fund (SDF)
 The North Devon Coast AONB’s Sustainable Development Fund (SDF) is funded by
Defra. The SDF supports projects such as this one, which bring environmental, social
or economic benefit to the North Devon Coast AONB.
 The SDF aims to support projects which develop and test new methods of achieving a
more sustainable way of life in this area of great natural beauty and diversity. North
Devon Coast AONB receives this money from Defra because the North Devon Coast
area is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

North Devon Coast Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)

Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs) and National Parks are considered to be
some of the most special landscapes in the country. They belong to an international family
of Protected Landscapes. There are 38 AONBs in England and Wales, and a further eight in
Northern Ireland. For further details: www.landscapesforlife.org.uk
 The North Devon Coast AONB is a spectacular coastal area which covers some 66 square
miles from the boundary of Exmoor National Park at Combe Martin to Marsland Mouth on the
Cornish Border.
 The North Devon Coast was designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in
1959, as national recognition as one of Britain’s finest landscapes.

The AONB status helps to make sure our coastline is used, enjoyed and developed in a way
that is sustainable and in keeping with the area’s natural beauty.
 The North Devon AONB is a stunning coastal area which is made up of several distinct
landscape types, each with its own special habitats and geology with many of them receiving
extra protection in their own right.
