	Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.

		The Howardian Hills form a distinctive, roughly rectangular area of well-wooded undulating countryside rising, sometimes sharply, between the flat agricultural plains of Pickering and York.
		Jurassic limestone gives the landscape its character and in effect, the irregular 180m ridges of the Howardian Hills are a southern extension of the rocks of the North York Moors.
		On the eastern edge, the river Derwent cuts through the Hills in the Kirkham Gorge, a deep winding valley which was formed as an overflow channel from glacial Lake Pickering.

		The AONB Officer co-ordinates projects and proposals put forward in the Management Plan, provides advice on the AONB, and is a first point of contact for farmers, landowners and parish councils.
		An AONB management plan meeting the requirements of the CRoW Act 2000 was produced by the AONB Unit on behalf of the local authorities in 2004.
		The structure plan specifically names the AONB in protective policies including "priority will be given to the conservation of the landscapes and general amenity of the following areas: the Howardian Hills" (and also the North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales National Parks, the Forest of Bowland AONB, the Nidderdale AONB and Heritage Coasts).

		The Howardian Hills covers 204 sq km (79 sq miles) of the North Yorkshire countryside, nestled between the North York Moors National Park, the Yorkshire Wolds and the Vale of York.
		These combine to make a landscape which is of such national importance that it was designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1987.

		Howardian Hills NMP : The Northern Regions : The Regional Picture : Aerial Survey : Archaeology and Buildings : Research and Conservation : English Heritage
		So far the archaeology of the Howardian Hills has received rather less attention than the neighbouring areas of the North York Moors or the Yorkshire Wolds but there are definite similarities with the distinctive and sometimes quite different features to be found in both.
		Extensive cropmarks of discontinuous parallel ditches were recorded on the dip slope to either side of Barton le Street. Similar features are seen on the Yorkshire Wolds, their appearance suggesting adaptation and reuse, perhaps over considerable periods of time and possibly serving different functions at different times.

	Ramblers walking forums - AONB boundaries
		OK, two posters that seem to consider AONB boundaries as useful, we all have our own thoughts and opinions but could either of you two or anyone else explain why such boundaries would be useful....
		I'd like to know where the AONBs are on the map, and yes, i think they do have boundaries.
		I think an AONB boundary would be more useful than some other symbols already there, and can be justified (loosely) by the fact that NP boundaries are already shown.

		The High Weald of much more rugged hills, ridges and valleys is part of the "Wealden" anticline, once layered rock that later rose up and folded upward into an arched incline, as well as steep slopes falling away in certain parts of the area.

	Ryedale Local Plan - March 2002 - Chapter 10 Tourism (TM)
		Chalets and cabins are given preference over static caravans because they tend to be more durable, of better design and easier to blend into their surroundings, although they can still detract from the scenic quality of the countryside.
		Static caravans, chalets and cabins will, therefore, not be appropriate in the areas of high landscape quality such as the Howardian Hills AONB, the Green Belt, Historic Parks or Gardens, Conservation Areas, and where they would adversely affect the setting of a Scheduled Ancient Monument or Listed Building.
		Within the AONB, such developments will only be permitted where they are of a scale related to the ability of the site and its surroundings to absorb visitors without suffering environmental damage.
