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.

The Blue Lagoon - Abereiddi - Pembrokeshire
The Blue Lagoon is a reminder of Pembrokeshire’s industrial past, being the site of a former slate quarry. The lagoon was created when the outer wall was breached just over a century ago. The water has a very distinctive blue-green colour, which is caused by the build-up of minerals in the lagoon. The Blue Lagoon hosted the UK leg of the World Cliff Diving Series in 2012 and 2013.
