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.

Peppercombe- North Devon
A steep path down a picturesque wooded valley leads to the impressive cliffs at Peppercombe which are carved from red Triassic stone and afford vantage points from which to view the grand sweep of the coastline to the east and the westward arc to Hartland Point.
