Win a holiday in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
For the fifth year running, Britain’s 49 Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs) have joined forces to man a stand at the Ordnance Survey Outdoors Show at the NEC next weekend (14-16th March).
Created by the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act of 1949, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty are just that! They contain some of our country’s finest landscapes and countryside and are home to some of our most exquisite and unusual wildlife species. AONBs are diverse in character: areas of lowland heath; upland mountains; gently rolling hills; coastal plains and shingle beaches; each containing unique and fascinating landscape features.
