Designated in 1972, the North Wessex Downs AONB is the third largest AONB in England covering 1,730 square kilometres, spread across 11 local authorities and 173 parishes. The AONB project is overseen by a Partnership of organisations (Council of Partners), of which Wiltshire Council is a member. As 38% of the AONB falls within Wiltshire Council’s administrative area, the Council is host authority and employs a team of countryside professionals, based in offices near Hungerford, to oversee the implementation of the AONB Management Plan. Wiltshire Council is also represented on other advisory and working groups associated with the AONB.
Further information is provided at the North Wessex Downs website.
