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.

Blackpool Mill Beach - North Devon
The cliffs are noted for their twisted strata. The stones on the beach are well-worn by the actions of the sea on this westward facing coast. On the far side, the rock strata curve dramatically up Berry Cliff, and beyond this is Blegberry Beach. The river that runs past Hartland Abbey reaches the sea at Blackpool Beach, running along the strike between steeply dipping rocks.
