Information & Advice
AONB Outstanding Information Leaflets
Outstanding new information leaflets for local businesses and visitor attractions have just been released. The leaflets cut through cross county boarders and enable us to celebrate this beautiful and distinctive area by uniting the region and celebrating our hard working, independent businesses; those who have held a dream, gone on to take a risk and now need the local community to support them.
The sister leaflet titled “Our Outstanding Natural Playground” serves as a visitor information leaflet and map for the AONB. This provides detail on landscape character and why this region has been classified as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
In October the AONB will be holding an “I’m and Outstanding Shopper” campaign, more details of this will follow, although any business wanting to get involved should contact us. You can download the leaflets here or pick up a copy for car at most farm shops, independant shops or libraries locally.

Parish Map Artwork Available for Sale Last year celebrated the 50th Aniversary of the designation of the very first AONB in England.

Local Action for Rural Communities (LARC) - Documents to Download
The new Rural Development Programme for England (2007-2013) is jointly funded by the European Union and the UK government and includes funding for ‘Local Action for Rural Communities’. Previous local Leader+ programmes included Chalk and Cheese and Sustain the Plain. The AONB team in partnership with North Dorset District Council have taken this opportunity to apply using the expanded boundaries as the proposed area. An Expression of Interest was submitted at the end of January.
If successful, the Cranborne Chase & West Wiltshire Downs LAG would fund projects that would enhance the rural quality of life and diversification of the rural economy across the AONB.
The budget for Local Action in the South West region is £28 million over 6 years which could fund between 6 and 20 groups in the South West. You can take a look at some of the resulting information contained within the bid here and if you would like further information in general on this then please contact either Anne Carney or Linda Nunn at the AONB office. Further news will be detailed as we know more.
