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.

Bouldner Bay - Isle of Wight
Bouldner Bay is just along the coast from Bouldnor Cliff, a drowned landscape which runs parallel to the island' s north shore. The site dates from the Mesolithic period and was occupied by humans between 8,400 and 8,000 years ago. The bay is submerged at high tide but at low tide access is available to some incredible scenes of coastal erosion and trees which give you a reminder of those long gone prehistoric days.
