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.

Flimston Bay - Pembrokeshire
The quiet backwaters of Flimston Bay occupy an attractive little corner of the Castlemartin Firing Range and one that is perhaps less visited than it should to be. The area is so full of geological phenomena that the name Flimston features prominently in every geographer’s textbooks and study files and is a ‘must do’ among the student tickboxes.
