About Us
Stunning limestone pavements, ancient woodlands, intimate orchards and meadows and an impressive coastline make Arnside & Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty one of England's finest landscapes. The work of the AONB Partnership aims to conserve and enhance this extraordinary place now and for the future.
The Executive Committee
Each organisation involved in the Partnership appoints a representative to sit on the Executive Committee which meets twice a year and is responsible for overseeing and directing the work of the staff team.
