Focus on county's natural assets

The Cornwall AONB covers an area of 958 sq km

The first Cornwall conference to discuss the work of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) partnership is being held on Saturday.

The invited audience in Tintagel will include representatives of interest groups and local councillors.

The conference will hear about the work of the AONB partnership and how it deals with the Cornish landscape.

Some of the key issues being discussed will be agriculture, affordable housing, tourism and renewable energy.

There will also be an opportunity for people to see some of the projects being carried out in the county as well as questioning members of the AONB partnership about how local communities and visitors can benefit from the work.

The Cornwall AONB, which covers an area of 958 sq km, consists of 12 separate parts of the county, including 10 stretches of coastline, the Camel Estuary and Bodmin Moor.
