Heritage Coasts (England and Wales)
There are 43 designated Heritage Coasts in England and Wales. The "heritage coast" scheme was initiated to protect the coastline of special scenic and environmental value from undesirable development. Much of the designated coastline is owned by the National Trust, through its Project Neptune appeal.
Some 31% of the coast in England and 42% in Wales is protected under the heritage coast scheme. Many of these coasts are part of larger National Parks or Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the protected area extends inland for an average of 1 1/2 miles.

Tresillian Bay - Glamorganshire
Tresillian Bay is on the Bristol Channel. The beach at the bay lies in front of a valley in which the Nant Tresillian flows and empties in the sea. It lies along a stretch of coast and cliff path characterised by limestone cliffs with many caves and several bays/valleys. There is a distinctive white house, Tresillian House, located at the bay at the end of the valley in front of the pebble beach.
