Conserving Our Historic Landscape

Historic Fingerpost The Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs AONB is interested in producing a landscape scale vision for the conservation and enhancement of the historic environment


It is producing Historic Environment Action Plans for the whole of the AONB landscape.

These build upon the AONB wide Historic Landscape Characterisation.

This project is funded by English Heritage and aims to produce a national best practice exemplar for other protected areas (AONBs and National Parks). There is therefore a special section devoted to methodology and guidance aimed particularly at people from protected landscapes.
