		The primary purpose of the AONB designation is to conserve and enhance the natural beauty of the landscape, with two secondary aims: meeting the need for quiet enjoyment of the countryside and having regard for the interests of those who live and work there.
		AONBs are created under the same legislation as the national parks, the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949.
		The smallest AONB is the Isles of Scilly (1976), 16 km², and the largest AONB is the Cotswolds (1966), 2,038 km².

	SITE CATEGORY: AONBs
		AONBs are parts of the countryside which lack the extensive areas of open country which would make them suitable as national parks.
		The Lecale Coast is an area of low-lying rocky, sandy or grassy shoreline extending from Strangford Lough to Mourne AONBs.
		Encompassing the coast around Bideford (or Barnstaple Bay), this is a landscape of rough, rocky coasts bissected by the beaches of Moore Bay and the estuary of the River Taw which forms the Braunton Burrows and Northern Burrows at its mouth.
