Welcome to South Devon National Landscape

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!
